	Michel Ney - LoveToKnow 1911
		MICHEL NEY, duke of Elchingen, prince of the Moskowa (1769-1815), marshal of France, was born at Saarlouis on the Toth of January 1769.
		At the fall of the Empire Ney was neither the first nor the last of the marshals to give up the struggle, but that he acted in the negotiations in concert with Macdonald and Caulaincourt is sufficient proof of his desire to avert the unreserved abdication that was forced upon Napoleon by other circumstances.
		Ney was placed on trial before a courtmartial composed chiefly of his former brothers-in-arms, whose participation in the tragedy, slight as it was, was probably never forgiven them by their countrymen.

		Another lapse was Ney's failure to attack Wellington on June 17 and thus prevent his withdrawal from Quatre-Bras; Ney also erred in ordering D'Erlon's corps to turn back from Ligny on June 16, thus depriving Napoleon of the chance to destroy Blücher's army.

		Michael Ney, a poor tradesman's son, was born in the little town of Sarre-Louis on the borders of German Lorraine, January 10, 1769.
		Ney was one of the three marshals chosen by Napoleon to negociate with Alexander in behalf of the king of Rome, but the attempt was unsuccessful, and all he could do was to remain a passive spectator of the fall and exile of his chief.
