Mustafa II
In 1695, the two brothers joined Habsburg service under Count Friedrich Veterani in the seven cavalry regiments of 6500 men and 800 infantry at Lugos against Sultan Mustafa II. The Ottoman army included about 85,000 men (Janissaries, Spahis, and Tatars). Although initially Veterani's force drove the Turks back, Veterani was captured and beheaded on the battle field, and Ernst and Maximilian were wounded.
