'Battle of Wagram', 1809, (c1835). On the 5-6 July, reinforcements under Marshal Massena and artillery fire support from the grand batteries on Lobau stemmed the Austrian advance and the battle swung France's way with Marshal Davout pushing back the Austrian left wing. The decisive attack was then unleashed against the Austrian centre by Marshal Macdonald and, after ferocious fighting, finally broke through Charles' lines, splitting the army and winning the day for Bonaparte (1769-1821). The French had defeated the Austrians who sued for peace four days later.
