	Battle of Eylau - Biocrawler
		The Battle of Eylau, fought on February 7–8, 1807, was a bloody and inconclusive contest between the forces of Napoléon and a mostly Russian army under General Benigssen.
		Eylau was the first serious check to the French Grand Armée, which in the previous two campaigning seasons had carried all before it, demolishing the armies of the established great powers of Europe at Austerlitz in December 1805 (Austria assisted by Russia), and Jena-Auerstedt (Prussia) in October 1806.
		Kamenskoi was unwilling to risk battle, and continued to retreat, leaving the Grand Armée free to enter Poland almost unopposed.

	Eylau - LoveToKnow 1911
		It is famous as the scene of a battle between the army of Napoleon and the Russians and Prussians commanded by General Bennigsen, fought on the 8th of February 1807.
		His infantry extended from the windmill, through Eylau, to Rothenen, and the artillery was deployed along the whole front; behind each infantry corps and on the wings stood the cavalry.
		The battle died away at nightfall, Ney's corps being unable effectively to intervene owing to the steadiness of the Prussian detachment left to oppose him, and the extreme difficulty of the roads.

		The French army on the eve of the battle was disposed as follows: At the approaches to the town and inside -- the infantry division of gal.
		The whole field of battle from Kutschitten to Schmoditten was covered with scattered soldiers: they were stretched towards the Koenigsberg highway under the protection of those comrades in arms who had not lost spirit or order and were shedding their blood on every step of ground they fought for.
		At Eylau remained at their previous stations the divisions of Lewal and Legrand; but 4 light cavalry brigades moved forward to the Altdorf stream to keep lines of communication opened with Ney who was approaching Altdorf.

	The Battles of Michael Hansen
		The Battle of Eylau, fought on February 8, 1807 between the French army under Napoleon and the allied Russian and Prussian armies under General Count Bennigsen, is almost certainly the battle refered to as "Eylan (January 1807)" in From Sturdy Roots.
		The Battle of Friedland, fought on June 14, 1807 between the French under Napoleon and the Russians under General Count Bennigsen, was the decisive victory Napoleon had sought in the campaign leading to Eylau.
		Durant refers to the battle as "competitive homicide," and "one of the bloodiest battles in history." I don't know where the number of 6,000 wounded French soldiers came from that was used in From Sturdy Roots.

	WebMuseum: Gros, Antoine-Jean
		Although he revered David and became one of his favorite pupils, Gros had a passionate nature and he was drawn more to the color and vibrancy of Rubens and the great Venetian painters than to the Neoclassical purity of his master.
		He followed Napoleon on his campaigns, and his huge paintings such as The Battle of Eylau (Louvre, Paris, 1808) are among the most stirring images of the Napoleonic era.
		Compared to the contemporary war scenes of Goya, they are glamorous lies, but they are painted with such dramatic skill and panache that they cannot but be admired on their own terms.

		Of all battles, ancient or modern, Eylau was that in which the proportion of loss to combatants was greatest.
		The day after the battle he gave orders for a pursuit as far as the gates of Königsberg, but as the town was fortified it was not thought prudent to attack it with weakened forces, the more so that almost all the Russian army was in and about the place.
		As a matter of fact, Napoleon was worse beaten at Eylau than it suited him to admit; and, but for the abominable state of the enemy's commissariat (that everlasting curse of Russian armies) and the slackness of the English Government, the retreat from Moscow might have been anticipated.

		With the Prussian army reduced to a handful of harried fugitives after Jena-Auerstedt, Napoléon occupied the major cities of Germany and marched on east in pursuit of the remaining forces opposed to him: largely Russians under the command of the frail 75-year-old Marshal Alexander Kamenskoi.
		The French plans fell into Russsian hands, however, and Benigssen was just able to retreat once more and avoid the trap.

	Eylau
		Fact, myth and propaganda are almost inextricably intertwined, and different authorities give conflicting interpretations of almost every aspect and stage of the struggle'.
		Trying to piece together the individual events of this great battle is rather like attempting to unravel a tangled fishing line; just when you think you have found the correct loop to pass it through, the whole lot gets even more entwined.
		Dealing with the battle as a whole, therefore, is not the object of this paper, but by focusing our attention on one of the grand moments during its course, in this case Murat's massive cavalry charge, we may come to understand just how complex, and at times how fabricated Napoleonic battles could be.

		It is my hope that the battles and battlefields found here will instil a sense of fresh interest for debate and discussion.
		I also hope that those who are able will search out these battlefields themselves and walk the fields and meadows where once history was played out in such full measure.
