But it wasn’t just on the battlefield that Eugene was surrounded exclusively by men; in private, he preferred to have intimate relations with members of his have sex – a evidence well known even during his lifetime. Even so, he managed to erect his career and broaden his power base during the reigns of three emperors, and his tough influence on Vienna remains visible to this daytime. His summer palace, Schloss Belvedere, is an striking example.
