Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the Battle of Talavera de la Reina (1809) he was made chief of staff of the French troops in Spain with extended powers, and on November 19, 1809 won the great victory of Ocafia. When Napoleon returned from Elba, Soult at once declared himself a Bonapartist, was made a peer of France and acted as major-general (chief of staff) to the emperor in the campaign of Waterloo, in which role he distinguished himself far less than he had done as commander of an over-matched army. Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult, duc de Dalmatie (March 29, 1769– November 26, 1851), Marshal of France, was born at Saint-Arnans-la-Bastide (now in the Tarn département), and was the son of a country notary at that place. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nicolas_Jean_de_Dieu_Soult   (1130 words)
