Should be simple enough. If you need a refresher, here is the link.
My choice is the Iron Marshal, Louis-Nicolas Davout. Victor of Auerstedt. He crushed the main Prussian Army against odds. Won the title of Prince of Eckmühl for his service at the Battle of Eckmühl. His Third Corps was second only to the Imperial Guard.
unfortunately i am a uncultured swine and i don’t know much about the first French empire. but if i had to go for one it will be marshal Jean-Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, AKA Charles XIV John. i find the notion that Sweden decided that making a FRENCH MARSHAL there king, incredibly fascinating. its even more fascinating as it was choice made independently, and not some thing forced upon sweden.
Duke I am not much of history fan for history before the 20th century, but I’d like to know where you got the idea for your name. Is it like some old lord?
Solid choice. He was called “Bravest of the Brave” for a reason. No one could doubt his courage and was an inspiration on the field of honor. I will say his abilities were somewhat limited compared to other Marshals. However, he more than made it for it with charisma and sheer élan. He actions in the retreat from Russia were spectacular.
