Louise: Shall I call you a brave lioness now, dear Soult?

Soult: Pfft. If you’d like. Such a moniker may suit that Ney more than me, I believe.

Louise: Don’t forget that the lioness is a fiercer hunter than the lion, or so Colonel Bory tells me.

Soult: Do not lie to me and say that I appear to be a fierce hunter in this ridiculous form.

Louise: Oh, not to me, never to me, dear Soult! I can never be scared of you. But your men still follow you, and your colleagues still respect you-

Soult: They do not.

Louise: They do! They were trying to engage with you and hear your silly arguments out.

Soult: Surely you do not agree with their proposals to upturn the natural order of things..?

Louise: I think that you would not find yourself at ease carrying a canteen and unable to boss your men around. And I think there is hardly a society around here to worry about upturning, in this strange death.

Soult: I do not want to leave such things behind. I will not abandon my truth.

Louise: But you are doing that right now, my dear friend. And I care far more about that which is hurting you than what is proper.

Soult: … It is still not proper for ladies to behave in such… rambunctious ways. But I suppose we may be lionesses if we wish.

Louise: I am glad that you still dream of me sometimes, my dear Soult. Otherwise you won’t have someone to tell you when you’re being silly.

Soult: Hmmph.

Louise: Is that a purr I hear? Shall I stop caressing this ear?

Soult: Don’t you dare stop.

I have a huge dump of napoleonic doodles inspired by actual and RP events (can you tell which?). Some of these are really old (before hiatus) but I’ll just put them here since I don’t think I’ll ever be able to properly color them all😢

Also bonus Soult’s brain frying:

Aaahhhh!!! I've been obsessing over it lately and I thank you for creating your blog, it's very informative! But I would like to know please how Murat got along with most of the Marshals, I also read that he got along well with Bessiéres, reply when you can!

Sorry for the late reply, I haven’t had energy for social media for the past month or so. Glad you’ve been enjoying the blog though!

As for Murat’s relationships with his fellow marshals, I think in general the tensions/conflicts he had with several of them have been overblown. I’ve written a bit about my view of his relationship with Lannes before (here, and a little follow-up here), and I still remain convinced that they were closer than the ongoing mainstream narrative based on dubious memoirs. Murat also butted heads with Ney on various occasions during campaigns, but I don’t believe there was any deep hatred between them or anything like that, and they got on well enough during the 1812 campaign and seemed pretty much on the same page. Oh, but Murat, Lannes, and Ney were all hanging out at Bareges together taking the waters when Murat found out he was going to be the new King of Naples, so there’s that.

Murat’s relationship with Berthier is interesting and I wish I knew more about it. Early on, Murat (who was pretty prone to paranoia) was convinced that Berthier was his enemy, as a result of Murat having been critical of him. But their relationship seems to have grown better over the years judging from some tidbits I came across in some of Berthier’s letters to Murat. Berthier also serves as kind of a go-between when Murat is in Naples and Napoleon wants to criticize him and needs someone to word it in such a way as to not wound Murat’s delicate feelings too deeply; he takes a much more gentler approach while still making sure Napoleon’s points get through to Murat.

Murat doesn’t seem to have gotten along very well with Soult, but I think @josefavomjaaga has posted more details on that on her page before, I really don’t know much about Soult in general.

Bessieres and Murat were supposedly good friends but it’s just another one of those things that unfortunately doesn’t have enough documentation on it one way or the other. Most of their correspondence I’ve ever comes across has been very formal and businesslike. It’s also hard to glean too much about Murat’s relationship with Bernadotte either. They had similar political views early in their careers, and Murat invited Bernadotte to his wedding (I’ve always wondered if it was just to spite Napoleon, who refused to attend), but also expressed criticism of Bernadotte in a letter to Joseph Bonaparte for having refused to side with the Bonapartes during the Brumaire coup. I really haven’t found much else about their relationship at all.

If there’s one marshal we can say for sure Murat absolutely did not like or get along with, it’s Davout. These two were just oil and water, unalike in pretty much every fathomable way. Their relationship got so bad during the 1812 campaign that Murat’s chief of staff had to physically restrain Murat from going out to either challenge Davout to a duel, or maybe just to shoot him on the spot (Murat had just grabbed his pistol and was on his way out of his tent). When Murat dared to speak against Napoleon for abandoning the army during the retreat and threatening to leave himself, Davout upbraided him for “black ingratitude”. I’ve never found exactly how Davout reacted to news of Murat’s defection in 1814, but it’s pretty easy to imagine.

Thanks for the ask!
