Post-Austerlitz Complaints and Recriminations

(aka Imperial Alert: The girls are fightingggg)

"After Austerlitz, as after Ulm, there was a rich crop of mutual complaints and recriminations among the Marshals. A bitter feud between Bernadotte and Davout was developing and there were respective rows between Lannes and Soult, Soult and Davout, and Murat and Lannes. To crown everything Lannes to offense at the Emperor's bulletin which he felt, gave insufficient credit to the work done by Lannes' corps, and took himself off on a prolonged, self-awarded leave. It is significant that while Napoleon was swift to punish dereliction of duty by his Marshals in future years, he let this peccadillo pass."

I got a snicker out of Bernadotte attending the wedding. I suspect he and Naps didn't miss a chance to Play their little spiteful games at each others' expense. In time, Bernadotte came out the winner.

As you stated, Caroline probably met, or maybe just saw Murat in 1797 when she was just 15. I'm reminded of Queen Elizabeth II who met the Duke of Edinborough when she was 13 and never considered anyone else as her future husband. Maybe, just maybe this is what happened with Caroline, although she later had many lovers. But I like to imagine she made up her mind immediately. No proof, just my sometimes romantic imagination.

Your reply to my ask raised two more questions: how valid were these rumours that Murat tried to seduce Joséphine? (And what did she think of these attempts, I wonder). And what was the origin of Napoleon's mistrust of Murat? There is too little I know about him.

How did Murat and Caroline meet, and was it love at first sight for either of them? Who pursued whom? Why did Napoléon oppose their romance?

They most likely met in Mombello in the summer of 1797, but Murat was only there briefly and there’s no way to know how much he interacted with Caroline, or if this was when either fell in love with the other. Caroline would’ve only been 15 at the time, and Murat was still pretty attached to his mistress in Brescia. The courtship didn’t really begin until after Murat returned from the Egyptian campaign. As to who pursued who, Caroline’s ability to conduct any sort of pursuit was hampered by the fact that she was at Madame Campan’s school at the time, but she was certainly obsessed with him by this point, and, for his part, Murat went as far as sending some troops to the school to give her a message about the Brumaire coup. Not long after this, they made their desire to marry known to Napoleon. He was opposed to it not only because he was already looking ahead towards making far more politically advantageous marriages for Caroline and his other siblings, but also because he didn’t entirely trust Murat, or have a high opinion of his character because of his various escapades in Italy and political maneuverings (and, apparently, rumors of inappropriate flirtations with Josephine) during an earlier trip to Paris during the Italian campaign. Eventually, with the urging of Josephine and others, Napoleon caved and reluctantly consented to the marriage, but he did not attend the wedding (his rival Bernadotte did though, at Murat’s possibly spiteful invitation).

This January 26, 2025 is Bernadotte's 262 years old, there is a theory about him that I want to believe in so much that it is magnificent, during the French Revolution he would have been tattooed “Death to the King”... While he himself is going to become king

[arealityfulloferrors]

I forgot that my tumblr exists and.. Well, I did some extra edits! Here's my recent one

I liked how this turned out!

[impetuous-impulse]

Thank you for showing the details!

If those monarchs are talking like they're on Twitter, I feel like Bernadotte would say this. He's politicianing

Never posted the pictures of Bernadotte’s Marshal uniform I took in the Swedish Royal Armory a few months ago didn’t I

Yeah I was excited about marshals at the time but I wasn’t expecting to see this there despite the current Swedish Royal family being, you know, The House of Bernadotte

Closeups under the cut as well as bonus other napoleonic stuff and a terrible picture of a marshal’s baton

The oakleaf embroidery has little acorns/pinecones on it!

Also presuming the holes in the first pictures are where the medals/awards went

I also 3D scanned the uniform I should really extract that and do something with it at some point

Also there was a very cute/twee “historical twitter” exhibit

From what I know of Bernadotte and Napoleon’s relationship, this seems a little inaccurate

[cedyat]

Reference and a bonus video under the cut (did you know you can't upload more than 1 video in a post? Cause I didn't 🫠)

Bonus video of me repenting for my sins for forgetting a certain someone...

Bernadotte, Minister of War

"While Napoleon was campaigning in Egypt, in July 1799 Bernadotte was appointed Minister of the War with the support of Joseph and Lucien Bonaparte. His abrasive style meant he didn’t last for long. When informed there was no money in the treasury, he sent orders to stir up the men at the front, and before long the necessary supplies were furnished. After the incident Directory was alarmed at Bernadotte’s popularity and dismissed him from office in September. When Napoleon returned to France from Egypt, Bernadotte unsuccessfully attempted to have him arrested for desertion and breaking the quarantine that applied to ships returning from Egypt. When asked by his brother-in-law whether he would support the coup of 18 Brumaire, Bernadotte remained neutral."

"Sitting on a horse in the middle of the city square, surrounded by Russian, Prussian and Austrian staff officers, the Crown Prince of Sweden calmly watched his compatriots being hacked to pieces."
