 | | With the Archduke Charles, president of the Austrian war ministry (the Council of War), the Archduke John, Hormayr, Gentz formed the war party, resolutely hostile to Bonaparte, to the Revolution, to its conquests and its ideology. |
 | | Indeed, the archduke John's actions were set against those of his elder brother, John attempting to create a sense of Austrian nationalism, whilst Francis merely demanded of his people that they be loyal to his person and the house of Austria. |
 | | The archduke with his corps of 12,000 men was however to arrive too late at Wagram, although it is very unlikely that he could have changed the course of events. |
