	Joachim Murat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Murat enlisted in the cavalry at the age of 20.

	Napoleonic Marshals : Joachim Murat
		With his courage and dash, and the marriage to Caroline Bonaparte, it was a certainty he'd become a marshal in 1804.
		An important part of the French army's command, Murat was the perfect harasser of retreating enemies, but his intervention at Eylau saved the battle for Bonaparte and was arguably the high point of his military career.
		Journeying to Spain in 1808, Murat was partly responsible for the uprising in that country, as his repression of the Madrid insurrection was harsh.

		Murat knew of the massacre of the Mamelukes at Marseilles, the assassination of Brune at Avignon; he had been warned the day before by the police of Toulon that a formal order for his arrest was out; thus it was impossible that he should remain any longer in France.
		Murat sent to fetch him, and in spite of his protestations he was made to descend into a boat with fifty men, and the boat was moored to the vessel.
		Murat greeted his old acquaintance with pleasure; but at the first word the king perceived that he was before his judge, and that he had not come for the purpose of making a visit, but to make an official inquiry.

	Book 16, Chapter 11
		Murat was on the banks of the Jordan and took the enemy as they rolled towards the bridge, and with his little band performed prodigies of valor and outdid himself.
		Murat was so much pleased by the homage of these simple-hearted warriors, that be distributed among them all the money he had, and all he could borrow from the officers about him, and finally his watch, and then the watches of his friends.
		Murat made no reply, but reining his steed up in front of the squadrons, waved his sword over his head and dashed straight into the sharp shooters, followed by that hitherto wavering cavalry as if they had forgotten there was such a thing as danger.

	Battle of Eylau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marshal Soult's corps and Marshal Murat's cavalry were the first French formations to reach Eylau, at about 14:00 on the 7th.
		Murat had lost 1,500 well-trained troopers, but relieved the pressure on Augereau, St Hilaire, and Soult and staved off a Russian victory for long enough to allow Davout to take a part.
		In part this was because, for the first time, Murat's men were now mounted on the best cavalry horses in Europe, freshly requisitioned in the aftermath of the conquest of Prussia.

	The Battle
		Having to pass through a very narrow defile, which Savary had noted was the only line of retreat for Murat's horsemen, the French general quickly deployed his regiments in front of Langwiese village, just in time to allow the retreating squadrons of French to filter through his lines and reform at the rear.
		Murat rode away, cursing, and the fact of the matter was that he owed the salvation of his cavalry to the timely arrival of Savary's regiments who, together with fresh squadrons sent forward by Napoleon, had taken the pressure off Murat's jumbled troopers.
		Also for Marshal Lannes to risk a whole division during almost total darkness, for no other reason than to prove to everyone on the field that he had arrived, was no more than childish bravado.
