Page "Albert of Saxony" Paragraph 4
from
Wikipedia
When the Austro-Prussian War broke out in 1866, Albert then Crown Prince ( German: Kronprinz ), took up the command of the Saxon forces opposing the Prussian Army of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia.
No attempt was made to defend Saxony ; the Saxons fell back into Bohemia and effected a junction with the Austrians.
They took a prominent part in the battles by which the Prussians forced the line of the Jizera and in the Battle of Jičín.
The Crown Prince, however, succeeded in effecting the retreat in good order, and in the decisive Battle of Königgratz ( 3 July 1866 ) he held the extreme left of the Austrian position.
The Saxons maintained their post with great tenacity, but were involved in the disastrous defeat of their allies.
