Icon Ercole III, Duke (Duchy of Modena and Reggio) : All Data

Ercole III was the Duke of Modena and Reggio, reigning from 1780 to 1796. During his tenure, he faced significant challenges, including the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1796, the French army, led by General Napoleon Bonaparte, invaded the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, marking the beginning of the War of the First Coalition. This war lasted from 1792 to 1797 and saw various European powers, including Austria and Prussia, fighting against the French Republic. Ercole III's rule coincided with the early years of this conflict, and he had to navigate the complex political landscape and the threat posed by the French forces.
