During the years of his minority, the duchy was ruled by a regent, his uncle Friedrich Karl. In 1693, when Eberhard Ludwig was sixteen, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I proclaimed him duke in order to secure the duchy`s support for the Empire: strategically situated on the right bank of the Rhine, Württemberg represented a significant bastion for the Empire against the aggressive encroachments of Louis XIV`s France. Often popularly represented as a spendthrift and proto-absolutist ruler unduly influenced by his mistress and her family, the duke was typical of many of his peers - the rulers of the German princely states - in seeking to establish and increase the status of his duchy through overt magnificence, military expenditure and diplomatic manoeuvring. His uncle had created a standing army from Württemberg`s militia in the early 1690s and the duke capitalised on that initiative by increasing the size of the army: both men also raised regiments of Württembergers for the specific purpose of hiring them as mercenaries to other states. Although loyally allied to the Empire and the anti-French `Grand Alliance` during the War of the League of Augsburg (1688-97), the duke was ambivalent in his allegiance during the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-14) and periodically flirted with the idea of a French alliance in the hope of increasing his status; his appointment as Imperial Field Marshal in 1712 was made in order to secure his loyalty to the Empire. The ending of the war with France in 1714 left Württemberg in considerable debt and the duke without his desired enhanced political status. In the same year, though, hostilities between Venice and the Ottoman Empire began; Venice had hired Württemberger soldiers during an earlier war with the Turks and so, in October 1714, the Serene Republic approached the duke for a large contingent of men. In the event, the duke was out-manoeuvred by the Viennese court, his personal negotiations with Venice failed and the Württemberger soldiers ended up in Imperial service at far lower rates of pay than the Venetians would have paid. It is possible that this gun was cast in 1714 as part of the duke`s attempts to provide appropriately equipped forces for Venice. A colourful figure with considerable, if poorly focussed, ambition, Eberhard Ludwig failed in his principal aim: the establishment of absolute rule in a duchy with a fully funded army and genuine status within the Holy Roman Empire. The cultural achievements of his reign - the building of Schloss Ludwigsburg, for example - must be regarded as outweighing the military and political ones. See Wilson 1995.
