Abstract
The Austrian Empire had been comprehensively defeated at the end of the disastrous encounter at Wagram in 1809. 1 On the day the Peace Treaty of Schönbrunn was signed, 14 October 1809, Napoleon issued a terse administrative decree creating the Illyrian Provinces. 2 To those parts of his hereditary lands that Francis I had to cede to the French (and which cut off the Habsburg Monarchy's access to the Adriatic Sea) were added Dalmatia, the territory of Ragusa/Dubrovnik and the bay of Cattaro/Kotor. In the far eastern part of the Tyrol, the judiciary districts of Lienz, Sillian and Windisch-Matrei were added in 1810–11. 3
