Julius Jakob Freiherr von Haynau (1786 – 1853) was an Austrian general and a member of the Austrian Rite of the Templar Order, who suppressed insurrectionary movements in Italy and Hungary in 1848 and later. While a hugely effective military leader, he also gained renown as an aggressive and ruthless commander. His soldiers called him the "Habsburg Tiger"; those opponents who suffered from his brutality called him the "Hyena of Brescia" and the "Hangman of Arad".
