Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Franz Maria Philipp Fenner von Fennberg entered Austrian military service in 1777. He fought in the wars against the Turks in 1778/79 and in the early Revolutionary campaigns. Fenner was distinguished at Maindorf in 1796 and at the capture of Offenburg in 1797. In 1808 he received promotion to general major. During the war of 1809 he was commander of the defence of the Tyrol. After his promotion to Feldmarschalleutnant Fenner commanded the right wing of the Army of Inner Austria. He cleared the enemy out of the Tyrol and was distinguished at the storm of Mühlbacher Klause on 7 October. On 26-27 October, he took the villages of San Marco and Volano from GdD Giflenga's (?) 6th Italian Division, where he was wounded. In 1814 he liberated the Pusta valley in the Tyrol. Fenner died on 19 October 1824 in Galicia.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Joseph von Fölseis entered Austrian military service in 1776. After his promotion to general major in 1813, he commanded a brigade in Sommariva's division of the Army of Inner Austria. On 8 September of that year, he mounted a very successful ambush on GdB Belotti's Italian infantry brigade at Tersain, now in the mountains of Slovenia. He was again victorious against General Baron Jean-Pierre Piat's brigade at St. Hermagor on 18 September. This led to the seizure of the strategic Loibl Pass by the Austrians next day. In 1814 he was in the blockading force at Legnano. On 28 June 1815 he seized the vital Les Rousses pass from the French under Colonel Bugeaud. He died in 1841 in Olmütz (Moravia).

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Born on 3 July 1763 in Metz, Ludwig Karl Graf Folliot de Crenneville was descended from an old Norman family. He entered French military service in the military school in Pont-a-Mousson, then in Paris. In 1778 he became an officer in the French navy until 1791 by which time he was Lieutenant de Vasseau (Captain). In 1792 he emigrated and fought in the Corps Royal de la Marine, in various French colonies. In 1793 he was appointed Cadet in the Chevauxleger Regiment "Kaiser" N°1. In 1794, he was promoted to Unterleutnant and two years later attached to the General Quartermaster Staff. Crenneville distinguished himself at Schliengen and Würzburg and was promoted Oberleutnant. In 1797 he received his promotion to Captain and made director of the embarkation of the forces for the expedition to Istria and Dalmatia. In 1798 Crenneville went to St. Petersburg together with Prinz Ferdinand von Württemberg. On his return, he was promoted to Major and Flügeladjutant to Prinz Ferdinand. In 1799 he again accompanied Prinz Ferdinand to St. Petersburg.
In 1800 he volunteered for service at the front with Dragoon Regiment "Sachsen-Coburg" N°6. He fought at Engen, the Iller River and at Hohenlinden. Crenneville rose to be Oberst and commander of his regiment. When the regiment was disbanded in 1801, he became General-Adjutant to Erzherzog Carl and Director of the Marine Department. On 9 March 1805, he was promoted to Major General. In April of that year, he was sent to Venice to implement his plan for the defence of the city. After this Crenneville was appointed Adlatus to the General Quartermaster of the army in Germany under Erzherzog Ferdinand. He led the storm of Fort Oberhaus at Passau. He was then sent to Berlin to urge Prussia to join in the war but events overtook his mission.
In 1806 Crenneville was General of Command in Fiume. In winter 1807 he commanded an expedition to put down a rebellion in Slavonia, he then went to Bohemia as commander of a brigade. In the campaign of 1809 Crenneville commanded the advance guard of Kolowrat's army corps. He fought at the Regen and Naab rivers and at Linz.
In spring 1813 Count Folliot de Crenneville received his promotion to Feldmarschalleutnant. As division commander he was distinguished at the battle of Dresden by the capture of the Plauenschen Grund. On the subsequent retreat to Bohemia his division had very low casualties. Crenneville again distinguished himself at Leipzig and took a redoubt at Hochheim near Mainz, on 9 November, with two guns and a colour.
In 1814 he fought in the allied victory over GdD Baron Michael-Sylvestre Brayer at La Ferté-sur-Aube. He was also engaged at Arcis-sur-Aube on 20-21 March, where the Austrians defeated Napoleon, and distinguished himself again at the battle of Paris, where he took La Pissotte. Crenneville then captured Vincennes town (not the citadel). On 1 June the emperor awarded him the Military Maria Theresian Order (KC). He also was appointed to 2nd Colonel-Proprietor of the Cuirassier Regiment "Erzherzog Franz" N°2.
In 1815, Crenneville commanded the advance guard of the Austrian army in Piemont and fought at Meillerie on 21 June and at Grande Saxone and St Genix on 28 June; he also took Chalons and Lyon. He then retired to Ödenburg, but was recalled to organize the Austrian navy.
In 1823 Count Crenneville was appointed privy councillor and Grand Master of the Household to the Viceroy of Lombardy-Venetia, Erzherzog Rainer. In 1831 he was promoted to General of Cavalry and four years later to deputy commander (= Lieutenant Captain) of the First Arcièren Life Guard in Vienna, which post he hold until his death in 1840.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Johann Maria Philipp von Frimont was born on 3 January 1759 in Finstingen, Lorraine. His father was a French officer, who had resigned his commission. Frimont entered Austrian military service in 1776 as a trooper in Hussar Regiment "Wurmser" N°8. Because of his bravery he was commissioned during the War of the Bavarian Succession in 1778. Ten years later Frimont received promotion to Rittmeister (captain of cavalry) when he fought in the war against the Turks (1788). From 1790 he was stationed in Belgium under FML Graf Baillet de Latour. In April 1792, he was posted to the upper Rhine, under GdK Graf Wurmser. He was distinguished at Frankenthal and Mannheim in October 1795, for which he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the MMTO on 11 May 1796.
In 1798 Frimont was promoted Oberst and commander of the Jäger-Regiment zu Pferd "Bussy". The next year he served with his regiment in general Ott's corps at the sieges of Mantua and Ancona. Frimont distinguished himself in the clash at Novi on 6 November 1799. The same year he also suppressed a rebellion in Florence. He was again distinguished at the siege of Genoa in 1800, where he commanded a brigade in general Hohenzollern's division, and at the battle of Marengo on 14 June, where he commanded the Avantgarde. On 29 October 1800, he was promoted to Major General.
In 1805 Frimont served in Italy, commanding a brigade in Simbschen's division of Bellegarde's right wing. He fought at the battle of Caldiero on 29-31 October, then commanded the rearguard in the victorious clash at San Pietro Engu against GdB Comte Gabriel-Jean-Joseph Molitor on 4 November. In 1806 he was appointed to Austrian baron and proprietor of the Hussar Regiment N°9.
In 1809 Frimont received promotion to Feldmarschalleutnant. This year he again served at the Italian theatre of war, as commander of the 2nd Division in Chasteler's VIII Army Corps. He defeated GdD Loius-Michel-Antoine Sahuc at Pordenone on 15 April, and was again victorious at Sacile next day, against Prince Eugène de Beauharnais. He was then defeated by General Debroc at the rearguard action at Olmo on 2 May. Five days later he fought with distinction in the rearguard actions at the Piave River (7-8 May), at San Daniele del Friuli on 11 May and at Papa on 12 June. He then fought at the battle of Raab two days later. For this campaign he won the Commander's Cross of the MMTO.
In 1812 he was appointed commander of the Reserve Cavalry Division in the Austrian corps in Russia. He fought at Gorodeczna, Trycziner Hof and Wolkowysk. In August 1813, he commanded a division in the Army of Inner Austria, but on 2 September 1813 he was promoted to GdK and given command of a cavalry division in Italy. He fought at Villach, Bruneck and Tarvis in the victorious campaign against Prince Eugène. In the campaign of 1814 Frimont commanded the Austrian troops in the V Allied Corps at La Rothiere and at Bar-sur-Aube on 26-27 February, where Schwarzenberg defeated Marshal Oudinot. He was also engaged at Arcis-sur-Aube on 20-21 March, where the Austrians defeated Napoleon.
After the campaign, he was appointed governor of Mainz. In 1815 he was commander of the Austrian army in Italy and invaded southern France. On 10 April, he took the town of Carpi from Italian GdB Pepe. In 1821 the Emperor appointed him Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian army in Southern Italy against the revolutionary upraising in the Kingdom of Naples-Sicily. For his decisive action during this campaign the King of Sicily awarded him the title "Prince of Antrodocco" the same year. In 1831 he suppressed an uprising in northern Italy (Modena, Bologna, Ferrara, Parma) and was awarded the title Count. Shortly before his death Frimont was appointed president of the Aulic War Council (November 1831), but he died only one month later, on 26 December 1831.

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Michael von Fröhlich was born on 9 January 1740 in Marburg (Styria).

Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Karl Joseph Alois Fürst zu Fürstenberg was born on 26 June 1760 in Prague as the third son of Fürst Karl Egon and his wife, Josepha Gräfin von Sternberg-Manderscheid. The princely house of Fürstenberg was counted among the first houses of the Holy Roman Empire and in 1776, young Karl attended the autumn manoeuvres of the Austrian army and was invited to lunch at the imperial table. He entered the army next year and took to the field in the War of the Bavarian Succession in 1778/79, but saw no action. In 1780, the prince was promoted to captain in Infantry Regiment "Anton Esterházy" N°34. He fought in the wars against the Turks and was distinguished for the first time at the storming of the fortress of Sabac (then Schabatz), on the River Save, in Serbia on 27 April 1788. As a result, Fürstenberg was promoted to major and given command of a grenadier battalion a few days later, on 4 May. He was again greatly distinguished at the capture of Belgrade on 8 October 1789.
On 1 January 1790, he was promoted to Major General on the explicit recommendation of FM von Laudon. In April 1792, he was a brigade commander in the small corps of FML Fürst Esterházy, in Breisgau, on the upper Rhine, to protect Kehl. At the beginning of 1793, he was transferred to GdK Graf Wurmser's Army of the Upper Rhine, where he took command of the Avantgarde. In 1796 Fürstenberg was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant and also to Feldzeugmeister of the Swabian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1796 he commanded a division in Baillet de Latour's Right Wing of FM Wurmser's Army of the Upper Rhine. In 1797 he was appointed proprietor of the Infantry Regiment N°36. He was killed at Stockach on 25 March 1799, in the defeat at the hands of GdD Comte Jean-Baptiste Jourdan.

Notes
¹) Although Emperor Joeph II. abolished 1777 the convention with the sovereign princely house of Fürstenberg concerning a hereditary Fürstenberg regiment within the Austrian army, the young prince Karl Joseph retained holding the rank of colonel (since 2 November 1777). When he entered the Austrian military service he only was ordered to learn his duty from the bottom up as any other officer.
