During his lifetime, Davout's name was commonly spelled Davoustwhich is how it appears on the Arc de Triomphe and in much of the correspondence between Napoleon and his generals. He was chef de bataillon in a volunteer corps in the campaign ofand distinguished himself at the Battle of Neerwinden the following spring. He had just been promoted to general of brigade when he was removed from the active list because of his noble birth. He nevertheless served in the campaigns of on the Rhineand accompanied General Louis Desaix in the Egyptian expedition of Napoleon Bonaparte. On his return he did not take part in the Battle of Marengowhere his friend Desaix was killed while making a decisive contribution to the victory. At the accession of Napoleon as emperor inDavout was named as one of the original 18 Marshals of the Empire. Davout was the youngest and least experienced of the generals promoted to marshal, which earned him the hostility of other generals throughout his career. At the Battle of Austerlitzfollowing a forced march of 48 hours, the III Corps bore the brunt of the allies' attack. Davout added to his renown in the battles of Eylau and Friedland. Davout was entrusted by Napoleon with the task of organizing the "corps of observation of the Elbe", which would become the gigantic army with which Napoleon invaded Russia in In this, he commanded the I Corpsnumbering over 70, and defeated the Russians at Mohilev before he joined the main army, with which he continued throughout the campaign and the retreat from Moscow. His inability to hold out at Krasny until the arrival of Ney and his corps led him into disgrace and he would not meet with the emperor again until his return The Iron Marshal Elba. InDavout commanded the Hamburg military district, and defended Hamburg, a poorly fortified and provisioned city, through a long siegeonly surrendering on direct order by King Louis XVIIIwho had come to the throne after Napoleon's abdication in April Davout's military character has been interpreted as cruel and he had to defend himself against many attacks upon his conduct at Hamburg. He was a stern disciplinarian, who exacted rigid and precise obedience from his troops, and consequently his corps was more trustworthy and exact in the performance of its duty than any other. For example, Davout forbade his troops from plundering enemy villages, a policy he would enforce by the use of the death penalty. He was The Iron Marshal by his contemporaries as one of the ablest of Napoleon's marshals. Upon the first restoration of the Bourbon monarchyhe retired into private life, openly displaying his hostility to the Bourbonsand when Napoleon returned from Elba, Davout rejoined The Iron Marshal. Appointed Minister of War, he reorganized the French Army insofar as time permitted, and he was so indispensable to the war department that Napoleon kept him in Paris during the Waterloo campaign. To what degree his skill and bravery The Iron Marshal have altered the fortunes The Iron Marshal the campaign of can only be surmised, but Napoleon has been criticized for his failure to avail himself in the field of the services of the best general he then possessed. Davout directed the The Iron Marshal, but hopeless, defence of Paris after Waterloo. Napoleon received him coldly but left Paris the next day and resided at Malmaison until 29 June when he departed for Rochfort. He has a wife and children; he thought that all was lost; he wanted to keep what he had got, " [12] while on another occasion he remarked that, "I thought that Davout loved me, but he loved only France. He was deprived of his marshalate and his titles upon the second restoration. When some of his subordinate generals were proscribed, he demanded The Iron Marshal be The Iron Marshal responsible for their acts, as executed The Iron Marshal his orders, and he endeavoured to prevent the condemnation of Ney. After a time, the hostility of the Bourbons towards Davout faded and he became reconciled to the monarchy. Inhis rank and titles were restored and inhe became a member of the Chamber of Peers. InDavout was elected mayor of Savigny-sur-Orgea position he held for a year. A main square bears their name in the city, as does a boulevard in Paris. Davout died on June 1, Davout held the following honours and awards: [17]. Davout was known as a methodical person in both military and personal affairs. Within the army and among his social peers, he was often considered cold and distant; while respected, he was not well-liked. During times of peace, he preferred to spend The Iron Marshal with his family and care for his home, rather than cultivate his high social standing. Perhaps his fiercest anger was directed towards Bernadotte, who failed to come to his aid at Auerstadt, though close enough to observe the smoke and hear the cannon fire. Bernadotte was eventually sent back to Paris in disgrace after being caught by Napoleon retreating without orders at the battle of Wagram. Bernadotte then caught the eye of the Swedish ambassador, looking for a well-connected French officer to take on the role of heir to the Swedish throne. When Sweden threw in her lot against Napoleon in the War of the Sixth CoalitionDavout personally asked to be placed opposite Bernadotte's contingent, in order to gain retribution for the latter's betrayal. The Iron Marshal with Davout assigned to defend Hamburg which he did, up to and beyond Napoleon's abdicationthey never did face each The Iron Marshal in battle.
