  • The Use of the Saber in the Army of Napoleon
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Scholarly Volume, Articles 103 DOI 10.1515/apd-2016-0004 The use of the saber in the army of Napoleon Bert Gevaert Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) Hallebardiers / Sint Michielsgilde Brugge (Belgium) [email protected] Abstract – Though Napoleonic warfare is usually associated with guns and cannons, edged weapons still played an important role on the battlefield. Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen. In contrast to gunshot wounds, wounds caused by the saber could be treated quite easily and caused fewer casualties. In 18th and 19th century France, not only manuals about the use of foil and epee were published, but also some important works on the military saber: de Saint Martin, Alexandre Muller… The saber was not only used in individual fights against the enemy, but also as a duelling weapon in the French army. Keywords – saber; Napoleonic warfare; Napoleon; duelling; Material culture; Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA); History “The sword is the weapon in which you should have most confidence, because it rarely fails you by breaking in your hands. Its blows are the more certain, accordingly as you direct them coolly; and hold it properly.” Antoine Fortuné de Brack, Light Cavalry Exercises, 18761 I. INTRODUCTION Though Napoleon (1769-1821) started his own military career as an artillery officer and achieved several victories by clever use of cannons, edged weapons still played an important role on the Napoleonic battlefield. Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen.

  • H-France Review Volume/Tome 21 (2021) Page 1 Patrick Lagoueyte
    H-France Review Volume/Tome 21 (2021) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 21 (August 2021), No. 152 Patrick Lagoueyte, Les coups d’État, une histoire française. Paris: CNRS Éditions, 2021. 230 pp. Notes and bibliography. €24.00. (pb). ISBN 9782271115256. Review by Philip Nord, Princeton University. The French Revolution ended up dethroning and guillotining a king. Yet, it was one thing to do away with a monarch and another to devise an alternate means of organizing executive authority. For that purpose, there were constitutions, written ones, which identified the various branches of government and distributed power among them. And so, the era of “L’État, c’est moi” drew to a close. The state was no longer a unitary entity but a ramified one, and the professionalization of military affairs over the course of the Revolution added one more layer of complexity. In the Ancien Regime, the army formed and unformed, as aristocrats, in answer to the king’s summons, mustered into service and mustered out again. Now, it was a standing affair and soldiering no longer the apanage of the titled, but a career with an ethos all its own, distinct from that of civilian life.[1] This new order proved a fraught and volatile one. The people, itself a new actor on the scene, might intervene to bend the state to its will. One organ of government might tread upon the authority of another, the executive maneuvering to subdue the legislative branch or vice versa. And, of course, the military might always step in to knock heads and take matters into its own hands.

  • Napoleon Bonaparte Očima Francouzských Řadových Vojáků a Důstojníků
    TECHNICKÁ UNIVERZITA V LIBERCI Fakulta přírodovědně-humanitní a pedagogická NAPOLEON BONAPARTE OČIMA FRANCOUZSKÝCH ŘADOVÝCH VOJÁKŮ A DŮSTOJNÍKŮ DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE Liberec 2014 Bc. Filip TRDLA Poděkování Děkuji PhDr. Pavlu Smržovi za jeho pomoc při psaní této diplomové práce. Především za jeho rady, objektivní kritiku a věcné připomínky. Poděkování patří také všem, kteří mě během celého studia podporovali. Anotace Diplomová práce se na základě pramenů osobní povahy a sekundární literatury snaží rekonstruovat vztah řadových francouzských vojáků a důstojníků k Napoleonovi Bonapartovi a obecně zmapovat pohled vojáků na jednoho z nejvýznamnějších vojevůdců a politiků (nejen) 18.–19. století. Cílem práce je též analýza příčin glorifikace Napoleonovy osobnosti a snaha vysvětlit důvody vzniku Napoleonova "kultu neporazitelného génia". Tento vztah bude analyzován z hlediska časového, kdy bude srovnáván pohled na historicky prvního francouzského císaře v období raných úspěchů s vnímáním jeho osoby v době největších úspěchů, ale i pádů. Druhým hlediskem bude určování a analýza vztahů k Napoleonovi z pohledu osob různé vojenské hodnosti včetně maršálů napoleonské Francie. V práci jsou použity metody komparace a analýzy. Klíčová slova 18. století 19. století historie Francie maršálové Francie Napoleon Bonaparte napoleonské války paměti vojáků propaganda První císařství Alexander Louis Berthier Jean Lannes Marcellin de Marbot Paul Charles Thiébault Marengo Slavkov Annotation Diploma thesis based on a personal character of sources and secondary literature attempts to reconstruct a relationship of ordinary French soldiers and officers to Napoleon Bonaparte and generally to map a view of the soldiers on one of the greatest generals and politicians (not only) 18th to 19th century. The aim of this work is an analysis of the causes of the glorification of Napoleon's personality and attempts to explain the reasons for the emergence of Napoleon's "cult of undefeated genius".

  • La Bataille De Montenotte
    La Bataille de Montenotte Règlements Exclusif Pour les Règlements de l’An XXX et Les Règlements des Marie Louises Copyright © 2014 Clash of Arms Sept 1, 2014 Rules marked with an eagle or are shaded with a grey background apply only to players using the Règlements de l’An XXX. All rules herein take precedence over any rules in the series rules which they may contradict. 1.0 INTRODUCTION In his first independent command, 26-year-old Général de Division Bonaparte used surprise, manoeuvre, hard marching, and the inspiration of his personal charisma (plus the lure of rich loot to be had in prosperous Lombardy) to lead the rag-tag Armée d’Italie to a series of astonishing victories over the more numerous and better-equipped Austrian and Piedmontese armies. On 11th April 1796, an Austrian column of 9,000 men under the command of Argenteau attempted to force its way south through the hills, the "Appenino Savonese," to the town of Savona on the Mediterranean in order to cut off the French right wing threatening Genoa. Colonel Fornésy, with two battalions (about 1,200 men) made a heroic stand on Monte Negino, blocking the road and bottling up Argenteau's column in the valley. Général de Division Masséna, leading Bonaparte’s Avant Garde, advancing from Altare in the Bormida valley, hit the right flank and rear of Argenteau's column at Montenotte Superiore on 12th April 1796, inflicting 1,000 casualties and sending the survivors reeling over the hills in disorderly retreat. When asked in later years about his bloodline, Napoléon simply remarked, "My nobility dates from Montenotte”.

In 1989 a group of historians, buffs and aficionados of the then Soviet Union, for the first time, were invited to participate in the bicentennial anniversary of the French Revolution in Paris. Prior to that, we all had been studying the life and battles of the great Corsican in groups or in solo, but there it all came together. Dressed in Napoleonic uniforms as a part of the international “French” re-enactment group, we were allowed – for the first time in our history! – to visit Napoleon’s tomb in Les Invalides.
