abstract
  • The Kuruc forces in campaigns of 1704 liberated much of Hungary from Austrian rule, in so doing establishing numerical parity with the Austrians. However, due to better training, a stronger officer corps and deeper logistical capabilities, the Austrians still won the decisive Battle of Nagyszombat, going on to take back the important fortresses of (Buda, Pressburg and Esztergom). The Austrians subsequently called on aid from Croatian, Serbian and Danish armies. As a means of counterbalancing Austrian power, Louis XIV of France attempted to support the Kuruc rebels, sending troops and material support. However, following the French defeat at the battle of Höchstädt, Louis was forced to reduce his material contributions to Rákóczi and the Kurucs. In July 8, 1704 the Transylvanian noble Rákóczi was elected Transylvanian prince and inducted in April 4, 1705. Designed to declared the confederation of Hungary and Transylvania, however problems have occurred in the National Assembly of Szécsény about the army and the legal status of the serfdom. Meanwhile routed the new Habsburg army under Vienna. In June 27 arrived the Danish military detachment in Vienna (4500 infantry and 1600 cavalry) under Andreas Harboe. The Danish soldiers fought against the French army in the battle of Höchstädt. The Danish-Austrian vanguard under col. Dietrich Glöckelsperg intrude in the Great Rye Island. Baron Herbeville his army mobilized in the island and in July 29 tried to march in Komárno, but because the Kuruc attacks was withdraw in August 3. Meanwhile Miklós Bercsényi and Antal Esterházy invaded Moravia. In August 25 Herbeville he crossed the Transdanubia. In September teak a rest in Buda. The army of János Bottyán (6000 men) tried to disturb the Austrian army. The Kuruc commanders will have committed serious errors: only in October responded to the attack of Herbeville. Rákóczi reinforced fortifications built near Zsibó, but near Nagyvárad (today: Oradea, Romania) wanted to fight a battle. Later was decided that the battle will be near Zsibó. Herbeville in October 31 chased the Kuruc army from Nagyvárad, which was besieged for two years. This has a serious defeat for the Kuruc army.
