	Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicolas Jean de Dieu Soult, duc de Dalmatie (March 29, 1769 – November 26, 1851) was a French general and statesman, named Marshal of France in 1804.
		Soult was born at Saint-Arnans-la-Bastide (now in the Tarn département), the son of a country notary of that city.
		When Napoleon returned from Elba, Soult at once declared himself a Bonapartist, was made a peer of France and acted as major-general (chief of staff) to the emperor in the campaign of Waterloo, in which role he distinguished himself far less than he had done as commander of an over-matched army.

		Soult's force was intercepted by an Anglo-Portuguese and Spanish army led by the Marshal William Beresford at the Battle of Albuera on May 16; after a bloody battle the French were forced to retreat.
		Soult was given command of the French forces and began a counter-offensive, dealing the Allied generals two sharp defeats at the Battle of Maya and the Battle of Roncesvalles.
		Marshall Beresford was retained after 1814 as the commander of Portugal's Army (and some 160 officers), a sort of proconsul as the king remained in Brazil.

	Book 15, Chapter 10
		Soult has been blamed for his management at the outset of this retreat, especially for being surprised as he was at Oporto; but let one surrounded by conspirators, and uncertain whom to trust among his officers, do better or show that any leader has acted more worthily in similar circumstances, before exceptions are taken.
		Soult had given his word to his brave garrison that if they would hold out a short time longer he would march to their relief, and he now set about fulfilling his promise, hopeless as the task was, and moved to within eight miles of the place with his army.
		Soult, eight miles distant, had just been defeated in attempting to march to the relief of the garrison, and from the heights of Bidissoa heard that terrific explosion that followed the cannonading, and saw the fiercely ascending columns of smoke that told that St. Sebastiani was won.

	Chapter 44 - Soult
		Soult was chief of the staff to General Lefebre, who headed the advanced guard of the army of the Moselle.

		Soult is a good minister of war, or major-general, but not fit to command in chief;" but, though no one will say that he had the military talents of a Massena or Bernadotte, this dictum appears to be as unjust as ungrateful.

		The title of "Marshal of France" had been used by the Bourbon kings as a way to honor highly esteemed commanders in the royal army, and Napoleon sought to revive this tradition.
		Most of the marshals were of the gentry and merchant class, though several (Augereau, Lannes, and Ney) came from plebeian backgrounds, and others from the upper nobility.
		The sixty-seven documents and portraits in the Marshals of Napoleon collection span the dates 1791-1836 and were assembled for their associative value with Napoleon.

		During the afternoon, they were reinforced by Marshal Augereau's corps and the Imperial Guard, making up about 45,000 soldiers in all.
