		One of over 300 illegitimate children of the Saxon king of Poland, De Saxe fought and won his most notable victory while sitting in a litter in a gilded carriage, his leg incapacitated by gout.
		In what is often considered the hardest fought of all the Anglo-French battles of that century, De Saxe threw in the finest attired regiments in his army.
		That gave De Saxe time to bring up his guns to smash the British column and prepare the way for the gorgeous ranks of the aristocracy to gallop forward and wreak their vengeance for Crecy, Agincourt, Poiters and a host of other famous defeats their ancestors suffered at the hands of the stout British yeomanry.

		By the eighteenth century, this palace had become an albatross, and acordingly it was fobbed off on any number of lesser luminaries: in 1746 Louis XV offered the châteaux to Maurice de Saxe, the victor of the Battle of Fontenoy (during the War of Austrian Succession); under Napoléon it was given to Maréchal Berthier.
		Perhaps the finest example of the “modern style” of châteaux (post-Renaissance), the Château de Cheverny was built between 1629 and 1635.

		Napoleon was a great admier off De Saxe, but he never trustet the 'common' man to be able to follow the princibles that De Saxe had laid down, and therefor would never be able to make full use of the groundwork that Saxe had testet.
		In short a de Saxe army would be fit for purpose, eqipped and armed for the task at hand rather than resemble a group of rejects from a costume party armed with children's toys.

		Had the last war continued some time longer, the close fight would certainly have become the common method of engaging; for the insignificancy of small arms began to be discovered, which make more noise than they do execution and which must always occasion the defeat of those who depend too much upon them.
		At the battle of Castiglione, M. de Reventlau, who commanded the Imperial army, had drawn up his infantry on a plain with orders to reserve their fire till the French approached within twenty paces, expecting by a general discharge made at that distance to defeat them.
		Otherwise, I really imagine they would soon have formed them two deep, and not improbably in ranks entire; for it has been hitherto an invariable maxim in all engagements, to endeavor to outflank the enemy by exceeding him in front.
