Add article description

Biagio Bernardo Caboga (German: Blasius Bernhard von Caboga,[1]French: Blaise Caboga) (1779-1854[2]) was a Ragusan count (conte) and commander. He participated in the Ragusan uprising against the French, who had occupied since 1806 (abolished in 1808), in 1813–14.[3] With British support, he led the uprising after October 1813.[4] Together with Austrian general Milutinović and British cannons, the Ragusan rebel leaders led the siege of the city in January 1814.[5] The French surrendered on the 27th, marching out of the city on 28 January.[6] Ragusa and its territories were handed over to the Habsburg monarchy in 1815.[7] Despite his intelligence and ability, being described as having Alcibiades' qualities, his ambition seemed to have been the main cause to the failure of the aims of the rebellion.[3]
