The ends of the Marshals

We know a lot about our marshals of empires, but for some their existence ends in 1814, I did some research and I did all the dates of death of the 26 marshals of the empire with their age of death and some information that I had, do not hesitate to say other information if you have any, when we look closely Lannes was the first to die and at a young age while the one who spent the most time on earth is Moncey who lived until 87 years old, yet it is Marmont who will be the last to die in 1852, I hope that this will be useful for some.

I've seen this book mentioned a lot here on tumblr and wondered if anybody has read it and can recommend it? So far I've only read the preface and introduction and I'm ... a bit sceptical.

Thanks in advance for all input!

I may read the chapter on Lannes first, maybe that will give me some more insight into wtf the author even wants to prove...

This took forever. But now I'm finally finished. For now, until I add more idiots to my RPF blogs. Didn't put little brother Damas, or Magon's son, or Lejeune. I was running out of room. 😂

Findagrave is one of my favorite websites, I love the idea of anyone being able to leave flowers and messages for both famous people as well as family.

Here are some "flowers" and messages that were left for Joachim Murat, which I found very sweet.

Berthier and Davout in Vienna 1805

Another brief snippet from Lulu von Thürheim's memoirs. In 1805, The Thürheim family had fled from their home close to Linz as far as Buda and Pest, when they unexpectedly received a visit from an old friend who brought them some news about the French occupation in Vienna:

He told us a lot of interesting details about the French invasion of Vienna. Neither their extraordinary politeness nor their cruelty corresponded to the truth. They were, like all enemies, demanding, thieving, impudent, in short, unpleasant guests. There are, however, some polite and selfless generals among them, but these are rare. Berthier, for example, pays for the slightest service rendered to him; he gives a florin a day to the servants of the house where he lives. In contrast to him, most generals cannot deny their sans-culotte origins. So Davoust, who is quartered with Count Czernin, immediately began to tear off the covers of the valuable furniture and have his boots polished on them.

There is no worse enmity than between Napoleon and Josephine’s pug (Fortuné), who not only did not allow Bonaparte into the house, but also bit him on the leg.

On St. Helena, Napoleon remembers Colonel Muiron

I had more trouble about one of my aides-de-camp, killed at Arcole, the brave Colonel Muiron. He had served, since the first days of the revolution, in the artillery corps. He had particularly distinguished himself at the siege of Toulon, where he had been wounded while entering through an embrasure into a famous English redoubt.

His father was arrested as a tax farmer. [Muiron] came to present himself at the National Convention, at the revolutionary committee of his section, covered in the blood he had just shed for the fatherland; he succeeded: his father was set free.

On the 15th Vendémiaire he commanded one of the artillery divisions that defended the Convention; he was deaf to the seductions of a large number of his acquaintances. I asked him if the government could count on him. — Yes, he told me, I have sworn to support the republic, I will obey my leaders; I am also an enemy of all revolutionaries. He behaved effectively as a brave man, and was very useful in this action which saved freedom.

I took him as an aide-de-camp at the beginning of the Italian campaign; he rendered essential services in all matters; finally he died gloriously on the battlefield at Arcola, leaving a young widow who was eight months pregnant.

I asked, in consideration of the services he had rendered, that his mother-in-law be removed from the list of emigrants on which she had been registered, although she had never left France. I demanded the same justice for his brother-in-law, a young man who was fourteen years old when he was registered on the fatal list; he had been in a foreign country for his education.

[There was a frigate named after Muiron that took Bonaparte from Egypt to France.]
