	Jean-Baptiste Jourdan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jourdan gave in his adhesion to the restoration government of 1814, and though he rejoined Napoleon in the Hundred Days and commanded a minor army, he submitted to the Bourbons again after Waterloo.
		When the war was renewed in 1799, Jourdan was at the head of the army on the Rhine, but again underwent defeat at the hands of the Archduke Charles at Stockach (March 25), and, disappointed and broken in health, handed over the command to Andre Massena.
		Jourdan was nevertheless made the scapegoat of the government's mistakes and was not employed for two years.

	Jourdan
		Jourdan was a sincere patriot, somewhat of the Jacobin persuasion, close in spirit to France's political rulers of the moment.

		In 1793 he was in command of the the Army of the North in place of General Jean Houchard, who had been arrested and soon executed for having won a battle but not pursuing as energetically as the 'Representatives of the People' thought he should.

	Jean-Baptiste Comte Jourdan, Marshal of France, 1762-1833
		Jourdan has one of the longest careers of any of Napoleons Marshals, having served under Lafayette during the American War of Independence and then fighting in the French Revolutionary Wars, and on into the Napoleonic wars, surviving those to serve as governor of Les Invalides and Minister for Foreign Affairs under King Louis-Philippe.
		Despite his long record he was a timid commander more suited to the defensive warfare of a previous age than Napoleonic Warfare, Napoleon recognised this also and never gave Jourdan command of anything except secondary posts.
		He became a Marshal in 1804 when he was appointed the commander of the Armee d'Italie which he commanded until September 1805.

	La Prise de pouvoir par Louis XIV / 1966 / film review / Roberto Rossellini / Jean-Marie Patte / The Rise of Louis XIV / The Taking of Power By Louis XIV
		Commissioned for French television, La Prise de pouvoir par Louis XIV is a historical drama which is much closer to the austere naturalism of Bresson that to the conventional period epic popularised by directors such as Jean Delannoy and Sacha Guitry.
		With its near-documentary style cinematography, the film attempts to paint an intimate portrait of the life of the Sun King at the start of his glorious reign, beginning with the death of his mentor Mazarin and ending with the formation of the court at Versailles.
		After the death of the powerful Cardinal Mazarin, a young Louis XIV decides to take steps that will ensures he holds the reins of power in France &; much to the disappointment of the Church and nobles who assumed they would be left to govern the country.
