Almost finished AI translating the 1870s biography of Soult which has been a fun exercise in data entry/formatting and analysing how different models handle translation, and also feeding the dead frenchmen brainrot!
There's an alleged anecdote that amuses me
basically in a stagecoach there's a priest, a rowdy officer, a "gray-bearded gentleman" and a bunch of other randos
The officer starts trying to start some shit with the priest and starts singing revolutionary songs
'Do you know, my fine cavalier, that you are getting impatient with me?' suddenly exclaimed the gray-bearded man. 'Oh! Oh! Here is the papa getting angry.' 'No, it is not anger, but pity and shame for the speech you are holding.' 'Really! If your hand did not seem so feeble to me, we could break a lance together.' 'Young man, learn that if I have old hands, they still know, like the young ones, how to grasp the hilt of a sword when it comes to fighting for the homeland or giving a lesson to an insolent man.' 'In that case, Sir will kindly give me his address; here is mine.' The gray-bearded man tore a sheet from his notebook and wrote: 'M. de Dalmatie, rue du Temple, no. 9'; then he gave it to the officer saying: 'Tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock, I will be at home.' Only the next day did the young officer learn that he had dealt with Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatie. The latter received him quite paternally, and imposed on him no other obligation than to address apologies, which were very well received, to the priest he had insulted and who was called M. Affre, then Vicar General.
the fact that old guy soult literally is saying "my hands are old but i still have hands" or that challenging old people to duels is a thing or that old people accept
#if anyone wants a link to the translation when im done ill share it#but dont take it as accurate or faithful because it is dodgy machine translation#im using it as fanfic fuel and vibes which dont have any responsibility to be accurate#cadmus rambles#jean de dieu soult#jean-de-dieu soult#napoleon's marshals#not quite napoleonic era#cad rambles about dead frenchmen on main

Lord Byron and Napoleon
Someone responded to my Lord Byron post saying they were surprised Lord Byron liked Napoleon. Let’s just say this, Lord Byron was obsessed with Napoleon. He was his “alter ego.” He loved him.
Like most of the Romantics, Napoleon was his muse. He was not a propagandist. He was able to write about Napoleon in a nuanced way and explore different aspects. For example, his “Ode Napoleon Buonaparte” is a sharp criticism which expresses his utter disappointment in Napoleon for abdicating. He hated Napoleon for his defeat, but he loved him for his cause.
Lord Byron had a bust of Napoleon since he was a young boy. He modelled his carriage on Napoleon’s carriage. He had engravings of Napoleon in his room and collected mementos of Napoleon long after his death in 1821. He referred to Napoleon as his “little pagod.” People around him said that the vicissitudes of Napoleon’s life affected his personality. He mattered to him a lot. This is what he said in a letter to his friend after Napoleon’s defeat: “I detest the cause and the victors – and the victory.” (Quote source)
He was hard on Napoleon because he believed in him, but he was devotedly loyal. Notice that he died in exile, just like Napoleon. Thomas Medwin explains that Lord Byron admired Napoleon so much that he came to envy him. Like Beethoven, his admiration turned into a desire to replicate. Beethoven once said he wanted “to conquer” the conqueror.
If anyone is interested in learning more about Lord Byron and Napoleon, I’ve provided some links. Any good book about Lord Byron should mention it. But most biographies about Napoleon will not mention it because it was a parasocial relationship for Lord Byron.
Some but not all sources on the topic:

Read an article on Beethoven’s third symphony.
The piece was inspired by and originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, who, in the composer’s eyes, represented the democrat ideal. After Napoleon crowded himself emperor, an infuriated Beethoven retracted the dedication, and called his third symphony simply Eroica, hero. If the hero is no longer Napoleon, who is it? One interpretation is that hero here should be viewed abstractly, as a great man, a magnificent soul, and human spirits at the full potential.
Imagined Grantaire reading this passage.
No one:
Grantaire:
#I dont know why this comes to my mind#enjolras#grantaire#enjoltaire#but enjolras and napoleon linked in this way is funny

I just had the best start to my morning. A while ago, @xxsycamore wrote some catboy!Napoleon headcanons and posted them on ao3. I commented saying how much I loved it and asked if there was any way I could convince them to do a set of catboy hc’s for Mozart, since he was a real life catboy, to which they said that yes, they were planning on doing that at some point. This morning, I woke up to an email from ao3 telling me that this beautiful soul wrote the thing and gifted it to me and I swear it’s one of the best Christmas gifts I’ve ever gotten. So yeah, y’all should head on over and read both of those:

By Andrew Roberts
British historians — including friends of mine such as Paul Johnson, Sir John Keegan and Sir Alistair Horne — have had immense influence on the bleak way Napoleon is viewed. Claude Ribbe’s book Le Crime de Napoleon portrayed him as a genocidal dictator on a par with Hitler, and the US historian Paul Schroeder wrote: “Hitler did it for the sake of an unbelievably horrible ideal; Napoleon for no underlying purpose at all.”
Unfortunately, Scott’s movie perpetuates this absurd myth. No mention is made of any achievement beyond the military ones. He rightly shows Napoleon as being popular with the French people but the evidence given in the movie makes this incomprehensible.
Without the context of the Napoleonic Code — the reorganisation of French laws — the financial reforms, the restoration of law and order, the concordat with the Catholic Church, the infrastructure projects, the new education system, meritocratic social advancement, the creation of the Banque de France and Légion d’Honneur and Council of State, for example, the film’s emperor is reduced to a man who merely throws food at his wife, has sex with her under the table with servants present, and almost never takes off his hat while indoors.

If you don’t have any pictures for people like Hippolyte Charles you could put in a random hussar or would you accept “fanart” submissions?
We absolutely would. It's much better than a placeholder image.
But we wouldn't want to use artwork without it being submitted by the person who made it. That's why we've been using film stills for fictional characters (or official book art.) It's just a matter of permission. So, if you drew it, yes please. If it is someone else's, please make sure they give permission.
#napoleonic sexyman tournament#also there may or may not be a new link in the pinned post#to be announced tomorrow if no one catches that it's there

It's past 10 pm on a Friday night when the author posts this, but with a third family member having ascended to the world beyond in the span of a year from cancer treatment, the author had to process things.
And with the recent Halloween Rising 2023 event in FGO NA, a certain Foreigner's antics rubbed the author the wrong way enough to provide just enough of leeway to go try-hard in writing rage.
Fuck cancer in taking another person away from me.
Content warning for spoilers for Sections 4-6 of said Halloween event, graphic violence, cruel and unusual punishment, and mentions of torture. You've been warned.

#he refused to listen when deuteronomy tried to teach him to get a handle on his keeper memories - he did something inadvisable and used #his stolen magic to *forcibly sever* his tie to these memories which drove him *further* off the deep end #deuteronomy cannot even imagine the level of pain that must have caused him
@the-cat-at-the-theatre-door, I am also turning these tags over in my head like they’re dice, oh my gosh...
#Macavity might have 'won' his magic from Foxfire but oh at what cost--what does one ever 'win' from a fight that was *never* a fair one?#And the idea of him deliberately cutting off his link to his family and community--driving *himself* into isolation before essentially#building himself all over again from the ground up as the Napoleon of Crime--is horrifying in its own right.#He probably thought he was setting himself free getting rid of all the 'chains' that were holding him back... except he's not free.#The magic he was never supposed to have and the cats whose loyalty he's inspired are the albatross around his neck#and they have to weigh heavier on him each passing year... and one day he's going to crack under the weight.#All this to say I love this idea holy crap...#macavity#headcanons

Rating: Not Cute!
I sent one of my Napoleons out to do some errands for me. He’s well trained and hardly ever loots the grocery store! But for no reason he got a ticket?! He got upset, spilled all my groceries, and got more tickets!
Don’t give tickets to Napoleons! Now I have no choice but to have my army of Napoleons burn this town down. Look upon the ashes and weep!!
#is the napoleon cute?#not cute#napoleon#I can’t paste the link in but go on YouTube and type napoleon’s ticket if you wanna see the source

Recently told a irl friend that people are fans of Robespierre and there is a lively French Revolution fan community on tumblr and she was baffled
But in my hypocrisy I did not tell her that I am fanning over dead French generals
#cadmus rambles#in my brainrot I glanced at a fanart of link from the latest zelda game and#mentally compared his hair to young Napoleon’s hair#baby idealistic nap is a blorbo to me#might change as I listen to more of age of napoleon#god the narrative of idealism and faith being worn down into cynical power grabbing and fight for survival#history is a corruption arc#when your lifelong idol hates you and proclaims that your family should be killed#my main napoleonic blorbo remains Lannes though

German language article about the life of one of Napoleon’s widely believed to be illegitimate children, Eugen Megerle von Mühlfeld.
This article from the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Bundesministerium für Inneres) of Austria was written to commemorate to 200 year anniversary of the birth of Mühlfeld. He was a lawyer and professor, and he was also a progressive politician who worked in the Austrian government during the 19th century.
Some interesting fun facts from the article: He was actually born only one day before one of Napoleon’s other sons, Alexandre Walewski!! Mühlfeld’s mother was a woman who was born in modern day Slovenia named Emilie Kraus von Wolfsberg. She was called the Dog Countess, which it literally says on her plaque at the place she is buried. She was called this because she spent all her money on animals, which caused her to become destitute. She ended up giving her son over to be adopted. So that’s how he ended up being raised by the Mühlfeld’s, and it seems like he had a pretty good life! At least I hope he did!
Interestingly, people who had met Napoleon actually recognized Mühlfeld’s resemblance to him, and rumors spread in Vienna that he was Napoleon’s illegitimate son. The rumor spread all the way to Paris, and the French Prime Minister traveled to Vienna because he wanted to meet Napoleon’s son. I wonder if he knew Napoleon had other sons in France lol
More about his career: The article says he was one of the best and most highly respected lawyers in Austria. As a politician, he was progressive and was noted for advocating for the separation of church and state, reestablishment of the jury, and abolishing the death penalty. He was also the dean of the law faculty at the University of Vienna. He was the founder of the bar association, and was its first president. In 1842, he was the co-creator of something called “Juridisch-politischen Le-severeins" which was a reading association and platform for progressive-minded intellectuals and was very influential during the 1848 Revolution. The year he died, 1868, laws were passed on his initiative which allowed people to choose their own religion when they turned 14.
He was described by Dr. Ignaz Kuranda like this: “Im Leben kein Pedant, im Lieben Feuerbrand, im Denken ein Gigant, im Reden ein Foliant!" which roughly and loosely translates to “In life no pedant, in love firebrand, in thinking a giant, in speaking a tome!”
Just to note: It’s never been 100% confirmed that he was definitely Napoleon’s son, but his natural mother was said to be Napoleon’s mistress. They met in 1805, and during the time they were together, she allegedly disguised herself as a boy. Their affair is also commemorated on the plaque at her gravesite. Here is a painting Napoleon commissioned of her (by Johann Baptist von Lampi):
