If anyone is interested theres a REALLY good book called Egyptomania. It mainly deals with the western worlds love affair with ancient egyptian culture but almost the entire first half deals with napoleons time in Egypt, his battles, the French archaeological enterprises in Egypt, and catalogues the influence Egypt had on Napoleon and France and the influence Napoleon/France had on Egypt.

Murat was also thought by his last name to be of middle eastern or moorish origin, he even used to boast about such a thing.
He was definetly a man of courage and appearance both though.
May i ask what verdion of the Symphony 40 you used at minute 20: 57 when you introduced him?

Saint-Cyr career after Elba was pretty adequate. No politics, a bureaucratic position and trying to save a colleague for a fair but inappropriate judgement. His resignation was a sign of the still problematic and unfortunate situation of the Bourbons.

It is a myth that Murat and Lannes could not stand each other. They were actually close friends and called each other tu in their correspondence. They spent holidays together before Murat had to leave France to become king of Naples.

One cannot understate the guts Murat had in battle. His actions in Egypt alone are the stuff of legend! Storming the tent of the Ottoman general and beating him in one on one combat. Truly remarkable.

If I learned 1 thing, its that Saint-Cyr could care less what you thought. It takes a lot of nerve to leave your position multiple times even after Napoleon threatened to have you shot.

Oudinot gets obliterated by cannon fire:
Oudinot: manifests a new body behind the cannons and cut down everyone by his sword

You could make an anime series out of Napoleon and his marshals, Murat would be that super flamboyant loud and brilliant guy.

Oudinot dying in bed in pain: Please doctor, put me out of my misery.
Doctor: How? Bullets and swords don't work.

It seems most of Napoleon's Marshals came from humble backgrounds. Quite inspiring IMO, given it was the 18-19th century.

One of two active Marshals that voted for the execution of Ney. he later regretted it. It sounds like he was a real POS.

One of Napoleon's biggest mistakes, (there were many, was putting undeserving family members in positions of powers

Damn, Murat like Ney are as brave as they come. Neither deserved to die after all they had accomplished for France.

Oudinot got shot about 30 times yet he still lived a full, long life and died at 80 years of age. What a Chad
