Answer:
friedrich joseph of nauendorf , a general and field marshal in habsburg service during the french revolutionary wars , was noted for his intrepid and daring raids .like most austrian generals of the french revolutionary wars , he joined the military as a young man , and served in the war of bavarian succession , in which he took part in its first action by successfully repelling a prussian border raid , which earned him the admiration of the empress maria theresa 's son , joseph .his continued success in the habsburg border wars with the ottoman empire added to his reputation as a commander .in the wars of the first and second coalitions , his forces were vital to the successful relief of mainz , and his commands captured the french siege train and most of the supplies during the french evacuation .in the campaigns in swabia -lrb- 1799 -rrb- , he commanded the advanced guard , and later the center of the main column at the battle of stockach on 25 march 1799 .at the first battle of zurich in 1799 , he commanded the right wing in the austrian victory of andre massena 's force .after the swabian and swiss campaigns , he retired in poor health , and died in 1801 .
