  Bambooweb: Henri Turenne
Turenne displayed the personal bravery ef a young soldier at Jargeau (March 28, 1652), the skill and wariness of a veteran general at Gien (April 7), and he practically crushed the civil war in the battle of the Faubourg St Denis (July 2) and the reoccupation of Paris (October 21).
In the autumn the allies again advanced, and though Turenne was again outmanoeuvred, his failure on this occasion was due to the action of the neutral city of Strassburg in permitting the enemy to cross the Rhine by the bridge at that place.
Turenne was one of the great captains whose campaigns Napoleon recommended all soldiers to "read and re-read." His fame as a general was the highest in Europe at a period when war was studied more critically than ever before, for his military character epitomized the art of war of his time (Prince de Ligne).

Henri may have reeked of chemicals--a mark of human intervention--but he did not smell of decaying flesh, which, for a generation that viewed the dead as a threat to the living, was irrefutable evidence of moral corruption.
The witnesses' confrontation with the mummies of Turenne and Henri IV was thus intensely physical, merging rationality, the emotions, and the senses.
Turenne, he claimed, could be bought, divulged state secrets, never won dramatic victories and was even defeated, could be cruelly severe to the enemy, and abjured his Protestant religion for Catholicism to earn prestigious royal titles, all of which was easily forgiven because of his unique virtues and talents.
