First sentence: The first step on the long road that was ultimately to lead to the Battle of Austerlitz was taken late on 14 March 1804, when a party of French dragoons commanded by General de Brigade Michel Ordener violated the neutral territory of Baden to seize Louis Antoine Henri de Bourbon-Conde, Duc d'Enghien, at the town of Ettenheim.
