Graf von Daun Leopold

Graf von Daun Leopold (1705-1766) was an able Austrian general, born at Vienna. He distinguished himself by his prudence and valour in the Seven Years' War, gained a victory over Frederick the Great at Kolin in 1757, and another at Hochkirch in 1758. He could prevail little or not at all against Frederick afterwards as soon as Frederick saw through his tactics, which he was not long in doing.
