In his youth, the prince served in the Austrian army in their war against the Ottomans. He also fought in the Austro-Polish War in 1809, and later accompanied Napoleon in the Russian Campaign. He was made a Marshal of France by Napoleon during the Battle of Leipzig. He died while attempting to cross the Elster River at the end of the battle.
