Who was Napoleon's Greatest Marshal? We move one step closer to settling this question as Ney, Davout, Marmont, Murat, Saint Cyr and Suchet battle it out for public acclaim.

Brace yourself for a shock as we delve into these titans of the French Army's greatest moments, their military record, and their wider legacy.

  • Louis-Nicolas Davout, the Iron Marshal—Napoleon’s most disciplined and undefeated commander.

  • Joachim Murat, the flamboyant cavalry genius who rose from stable boy to King of Naples.

  • Louis-Gabriel Suchet, the unsung strategist who mastered counterinsurgency in Spain.

  • Saint-Cyr, the intellectual-turned-general with a mind for art as much as arms.

  • Auguste de Marmont, the controversial figure whose betrayal still divides historians.
