Henri de Turenne

Henri de La Tour d’Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne (11 September 1611 — 27 July 1675), Marshal of France, was one of the greatest military commanders during the reign of Louis XIV. Beginning his military career in the Thirty Years’ War (from 1625), he subsequently commanded the royal armies in the civil war of the Fronde (1648–53), in the French invasion of the Spanish Netherlands (1667), and in the third Dutch War (begun in 1672). He was one of six French commanders ever to hold the rank of Marshal-General. Napoleon Bonaparte later deemed him history’s greatest military leader.

Victor Radcliff admired Henri de Turenne as one of the greatest generals of all time. Charles Cornwallis, while clever, did not compare to Turenne. For this reason, Radcliff rejected Habakkuk Biddiscombe's proposal to expend personnel targeting Cornwallis specifically. This was the final straw which led to Biddiscombe's defection.
