Despite their alliance, Leopold mis-trusted Victor Amadeus, whose ultimate goal was the Duchy of Milan, and focused on suppressing an uprising in Hungary. With Savoy close to defeat, he sent his best general, Prince Eugene, to resume command in Italy, along with men and money, a policy continued after his death in May by Emperor Joseph. England and the Dutch Republic also funded a contingent of 8,000 Prussians led by Leopold, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, who reinforced the Imperial army.
