	Marshal Jean Lannes
		Lannes is considered to be one of the few true friends of Napoleon.
		Lannes was so grateful to this officer that years later when he became wealthy, he bought the officer an inn which became his livelihood and home.
		Lannes told Caulaincourt, a noble officer that had not fled, that the "Ancien régime officers sure know how to look after their worthless friends." At another time, Lannes had a meeting with Napoleon, and was told to wait while Napoleon finished a meeting with an émigré.

	Information About Jean Lannes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Jean Lannes, duke of Montebello (April 11, 1769 - May 31, 1809), marshal of France, was born at Lectoure (Gers).
		Lannes ranks with Davout and Masséna as the ablest of all Napoleon's marshals, and consciously or unconsciously was the best exponent of the emperor's method of making war.
		It was thus with Lannes at Friedland and at Aspern as it was with Davout at Austerlitz and Auerstadt, and Napoleon's estimate of his subordinates' capacities can almost exactly be judged by the frequency with which he used them to prepare the way for his own shattering blow.

		Jean Lannes, Duke of Montebello (April 11, 1769 – May 31, 1809), Marshal of France, was born at Lectoure, Gers.
		During the retreat Lannes exposed himself as usual to the hottest fire, and received a mortal wound: a cannon exploded near Lannes, rupturing both of his legs, which were later amputated; he succumbed to his wounds at Vienna on May 31.
		Lannes purchased the magnificent seventeenth-century Château de Maisons, not far from Paris, in 1804 and had one of its state apartments redecorated for a visit from Napoleon, but he had little use of it.

	Napoleonic Marshals : Jean Lannes
		One of Napoleon Bonaparte's closest marshals, Jean Lannes was a courageous fighter, excellent tactician and had no desire for politics.

	Chapter 32 - Lannes
		Jean Lannes, who, for his impetuous valour, was called the Orlando and the Ajax of the French camp, was born at Lectoure, April 11th, 1769.
		Lannes instantly sprung on the horse of an Austrian officer, killed the rider, placed himself firmly in the saddle, and fought his way through the cuirassiers, killing two or three, and severely wounding more.
		Sometimes, indeed, Lannes could exhibit uncommon generosity; but he had no fixed principles, and being led by the impulses of a mind in which ferocity was strangely combined with grandeur, committed, or what is the same thing, allowed to be committed, many actions of a cruel, vindictive character.

		General of division Jean Lannes was an officer with a splendid military record, he was a close friend of the First Consul's, and he became an ambassador for reasons that were not entirely diplomatic.
		Lannes also took his aide-de-camp, Captain Jacques Subervie, and other young officers who, like their general, were much more accustomed to military camps than salons and diplomatic receptions.
		Lannes dismissed Almeida as "an English pawn and an intriguer [who] lies to the Prince Regent." In a letter to Almeida shortly after his audience, Lannes insisted that the émigré regiments leave Portugal, that all French goods have duty-free entry, and that Dom João dismiss Pina Manique at once.

		Description: An examination of the life of Marshal Jean Lannes, this study looks at the career of the only soldier of any rank who consistently said exactly what he thought to Napoleon at every stage of their amazing careers.
		While Lannes was best known for his military skill, especially as an advance-guard commander, his unconventional three-year diplomatic career was equally noteworthy, since his diplomatic tactics resulted in particular benefits for France.

	Napoleon
		A mere volunteer who became a soldier of extraordinary bravery and sang-froid, literally covered in scars, Lannes was a key figure in Napoleon's military success.
		Lannes was reached his zenith of popularity (particularly amongst his men) in April 1800 was he was appointed Inspecteur general of the Garde Consulaire.
		But his friendship with Bonaparte was not however without its ups and downs – his popularity was seen by Bonaparte as a challenge and his obstinate use of ‘tu' to the Premier Consul at a time when Napoleon wished to distance himself led to his exile by promotion to the post of Plenipotentiary in Portugal.

	The Battle of Marengo
		Fortunately for Victor, French Lieutenant General Jean Lannes helped to stabilize the situation by moving Major General Watrin's infantry division and Brigadier General Champeaux's cavalry into the fight on his own initiative.
		As a last resort, both the guard infantry and part of Major General Jean Monnier's infantry division were thrown into the yawning breaches in the French lines in a desperate effort to buy time for Victor and Lannes' withdrawing men.
		With portions of Monnier's division refusing to move forward, and the covering troops quickly engaged, often from several directions, the fact that Napoleon's officers extracted their men from the field of battle without a complete rout is little short of amazing.
