| Description |
English: Julius von Haynau Austrian General against the Hungarian Revolt 1849 (ND) Medal.
Bronze medallion d. = 41 mm. Scarce in bronze. Julius Jacob von Haynau, 1786 Kassel, Hesse-Kassel - 1853 Vienna Born in Kassel, von Haynau was the illegitimate son of Rosa Dorothea Ritter, and William I (1743-1821), the landgrave (later elector) of Hesse-Kassel. His father acknowledged this natural son, providing for his education and entry into the military officer corps as a cadet. Later in the Austrian army von Haynau was prominent in suppressing insurrectionary movements in Italy and Hungary in 1848 and later. While a hugely effective military leader, he also gained renown as an aggressive and ruthless commander. His soldiers called him the "Habsburg Tiger"; those opponents who suffered from his brutality called him the "Hyena of Brescia" and the "Hangman of Arad."
