Liking and disliking among the Napoleonic Marshalls of the Empire
score:4
Accepted answer
I'm going to base the following of an essay by Frans G Bengtsson, "Marskalkarna av Frankrike", found in Sällskap för en eremit. The essay in turn was written after he had read Gabriel d'Orgeval's Le Maréchalat de France and, particularly the part I will take my material from, G.A. Macdonell's Napoleon and his Marshals. I'll be using the word "hate" a lot as a catch-all since it is hard to tell from a short account exactly how strong the dislike actually was. I'll also cover dislikes between all the Marshal's, for the benefit of anyone finding this question in the future. Onward to the actual answer:
The Marshals seems to have rather disliked each other as a general rule:
- Davout, Berthier and Bernadotte all hated each other.
- Ney and Soult hated each other.
- Soult and Masséna hated each other
- Masséna and Bessières hated each other.
- Macdonald and Gouvion Saint-Cyr hated each other.
- Augereau and Murat hated each other.
- Lannes hated Murat and Bessières, and they hated him in turn.
The following pairs appears to have been good friends:
- Davout and Oudinot
- Murat and Bessières
- Lannes and Augereau
