  Franz Moritz von Lacy Information
Maria Theresa having placed her son, Emperor Joseph II, at the head of Austrian military affairs, Lacy was made a field marshal, and given the task of reforming and administering the army (1766).
In the brief and uneventful War of the Bavarian Succession, Lacy and Laudon were the chief Austrian commanders against the King of Prussia, and when Joseph II at Maria Theresa's death, became the sovereign of the Austrian dominions as well as emperor, Lacy remained his most trusted friend.
Lacy was now old and worn out, and his tenure of command therein was not marked by any greater measure of success than in the case of the other Austrian generals.

 ALFRED KOMAREK: Romantic Guitar - The gentle echo of restless centuries.
The Petersburger Franz Moritz Graf Lacy was such a person, as was his countryman Nikolai Makaroff, of whom we shall hear more later.
In 1765, Lacy acquired the property of Neuwaldegg and converted the palace park into an amazing garden, in which of course, for the purpose of idyllic eternal peace, a Romantic grave had to have its place: the ”Rousseau grave”.
In Vienna, Franz Liszt conducted the festival concerts in commemoration of the one-hundredth birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the construction of the Arsenal, begun on occasion of the revolution of 1848, was completed.

Promoted to Oberst commanding the 19th Infantry Regiment 19 in 1774, he led his men during the War of the Bavarian Succession, where he took the Böhmertor and captured the Prussian Commander Prince Hessen-Philippstal, a feat which won Alvinczy promotion to Major General and award of the Militär-Maria Theresien-Orden (MTO).

The Austrians take revenge June 18 at the Battle of Kolin, 27 miles east of Prague, where Marshal Leopold Jozef, graf von Daun, commands a force of 40,000 (42 infantry battalions, 17 cavalry squadrons, 145 guns) against Friedrich's 32,000 (32 infantry battalions, 116 cavalry squadrons, 50 guns).
Now 51, von Daun has gained field experience in Sicily (1718), on the Rhine in the 1730s, fighting the Ottoman Turks in the late 1730s, and in the War of the Austrian Succession.
Friedrich exhorts his troops to fight harder ("Schweinhunds, would you live forever?") but loses 13,768 killed, wounded, and missing, 45 of his guns are captured, and he is forced to lift his siege of Prague and evacuate Bohemia (Austrian losses total 9,000 dead and wounded).
