Tbh, I find Wellington quite overrated compare to Blucher, Kutusov, Charles or even in a certain way Bernadotte.

I feel like Poniatowski was a brilliant general, then shortly marshal. Maybe in other circumstances he could've been one of the best military commanders of his era. He was brave, competent and fought without fear for Napoleon, despite being Polish patriot. he also fought for freedom of his country and basiclly saved remains of Napoleon's army after Leipzig. His monument seen in video was an inspiration for generations to come. He fougt and died for Poland, and for Poland only. His sacriface has reinforced Polish patriots, who one hundred years later took part in WWI on basiclly every front and freed Poland.

He also looked after the other children's needs. Also, Lannes, Murat and Bernadotte were also good friends and kept together as Gascons. Davout is the odd man out. He was almost universally disliked by the other marshals.

Ney had incredible qualities but he was probably over promoted, or at least misused. He made massive errors which cost Napoleon his throne, such as at Quatre Bras, Dennewitz, and Bautzen. If Lannes had lived, or Napoleon had faith in Davoust, Ney would not feature so prominently.

Absolutely captivating! Can't get enough of this video, especially the tales of Bernadotte's dynasty and Napoleon's marshals.

Amazing video. It would be great to get some more in depth videos about the Marshals. For example, there is quite the story to tell about Marshal Lannes. His exploits on Malta, how he showed his gratitude to the soldier that carried him back in Egypt. The Consular Guard mismanagement. The story of his time in Portugal. How he as one of the only people would complain to Napoleons face and their close friendship. The reasons why he wanted to duel Soult and Bessier. The riding accident that very nearly killed kim. How he very accurately predicted his own demise. And all of that is just one of the marshals.

3 Hours of Epic history?! Yes please 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can you make a video about some of Napoleon's great generals who were not made a Marshal? Atleast about the 12 generals you mentioned about in the opening of the video.

Damn! That portrait of Murat on his horse at the end of his section is 🔥 His Rizz was too much!! they had to kill him....Man had Napoleon jealous 🤣

Amazingly detailed as always, this will be a pleasure.

I must say the narrator employed by Epic History is perhaps the best I’ve had the pleasure to hear. He’s one of the reasons why I so enjoy their videos.

I am swedish and went to school with someone with the last name of Bernadotte I am not sure if he is related to the royal family or not but it's quite interesting

Marshal Ney is my all time favorite. This man was relentless, he was a maverick.

3:13 *General Barthelemy Joubert* (who has been featured as one of the Division commanders in Napoleon's Italian Campaign series) should also have been a worthy mention. As in the height of the French revolutionary wars in the late 1790's both Generals Joubert and Bonaparte had built themselves a considerable high fame and standing within the French republic and army as one of France's most competent, successful and beloved rising stars of which both had been each given several appointments to numerous high commands by the Directory, and they were also of the same age. So when Director Sieyés was planning on who should be the military figure to lead the coup d'etat of 18 brumaire in 1799 to sieze power over the Directory, his first pick was general Joubert in recognition of his high popularity and status within the French army and to the people of France, so when they offered Joubert to join in the coup as its military representative he was more than willing, complaining: *"They lose time in words. When they like, I will finish it all twenty grenadiers."* but sadly the next month, he would be killed in action commanding the Army of Italy against Suvorov's Russian army at the battle of Novi while loudly encouraging his men forward when he was struck in the heart by a musket ball, killing him instantly and died in the arms of general Suchet. So when news of his death reached Paris, Director Sieyés gave the role to lead the coup to general Bonaparte as Joubert's replacement instead. *Interesting Fact:* Joubert's widow who had been married to him for only a few months later remarried to another famous French officer, general - later future marshal *Jaques MacDonald.*

Thank you for the extraordinary work!

God I love this channel, I was just watching your 'March of the eagles' video, and whilst watching thought to myself, 'His marshals seem crucial I wonder which was the most important or most successful' and here we are 😂. Amazing video as always, cheers

I enjoyed watching this very much. Thank you for making such an awesome and educational masterpiece.

The fact that many of Histories best Marshals of France were under Napoleon's command, I had also checked if Napoleon's Era was a golden age for France, and in some cases, it was, I was just fond that many of Napoleon's best Marshals turned out to be hated men by their own army, but for Ney, Davout, and Lannes I will say probably was a great commander in the vanguard it's just a shame that his failings occurred first from Spain, and the other from Russia but great video Charles and Toby keep it up.

@@vishackvapricorn3426 This is true. It took only three battles to destroy Prussia. 70% of the Prussian Army was crushed at Jena-Auerstadt. The largest intact formation was the Prussian Reserve at Halle with 24,000 men. Two days after J-A, Bernadotte destroys the Prussian Reserve, attacking Halle over causeways. At this point the largest formation left is Blücher who gathered a bunch of bits and pieces of units, around 20,000 men, gathers them up and was making for the Danish Border. But the Danes tell him they will intern them. Blucher instead heads for Lubeck, to meet up with a Swedish brigade and to take ship for Konigsberg. Bernadotte, Soult and Murat chase after him. Blucher digs in at Lubeck with 23,000 men and 4500 Swedes. Bernadotte's I Corps smashes through Blucher's outer defenses so quickly that the general was nearly caught in his bed. His command post was overrun and half of Blucher's men are captured. I Corps runs Blucher and his remaining 10,000 men down, Soult hems them in, and Blucher surrenders to Bernadotte, with Murat and Soult also present. The Swedes also surrender to Bernadotte and his treatment of them has unexpected consequences four years later. All that is left of the Prussian Army after those three battles are garrisons and a corps near Konigsberg. It took a week to destroy the Prussian Army. Crazy how it came completely undone.
