	Jean-Andoche Junot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean-Andoche Junot, Duke of Abrantes (October 23, 1771 – July 29, 1813) was a French general under Napoleon Bonaparte.
		In the Russian campaign Junot's record was erratic; he was blamed for allowing the Russian army to retreat following the Battle of Smolensk (August 17), but at the Battle of Borodino (September 7, 1812) he commanded the 8th Corps competently.
		But when the British arrived in August 1808, the French were beaten at Vimeiro (August 21) and Junot was almost cut-off; only the signing of the advantageous Convention of Sintra allowed him to avoid capture, and he returned to France in October, narrowly escaping a court martial.
