  Nicolas Jean De Dieu Soult - LoveToKnow 1911
NICOLAS JEAN DE DIEU SOULT, Duke of Dalmatia (1769-1851), marshal of France, was born at Saint-Amans-la-Bastide (now in department of the Tarn) on the 29th of March 1769, and was the son of a country notary at that place.
He was fairly well educated, and intended for the bar, but his father's death when he was still a boy made it necessary for him to seek his fortune, and he enlisted as a private in the French infantry in 1785.
When Napoleon returned from Elba Soult at once declared himself a Bonapartist, was made a peer of France and acted as majorgeneral (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.

After the Battle of Talavera (1809) he was made chief of staff of the French troops in Spain with extended powers, and on November 19, 1809 won the great victory of Ocafia.
His campaign there is the finest proof of his genius as a general, although he was repeatedly defeated by the English under Wellington, for his soldiers were but raw conscripts, while those of Wellington were the veterans of many campaigns.

 Marshal Nicolas-Jean de Dieu Soult
Soult, nicknamed the "Hand of Iron" by his soldiers, and the "Duke of Damnation" by the British soldiers he faced, was a talented commander.
Soult's original goal in life was to have his own bakery business, but instead he joined the army and never left it.
Soult walked with a limp from this wound for the rest of his life, and after this experience of pain and captivity he led from the front less and less in his career.

In 1031 it became the capital of a small Moorish kingdom (Emirate of Badajoz), and, though temporarily held by the Portuguese in 1168, it retained its independence until 1229; when it was captured by Alfonso IX of Castile and León.

This coupled with the sudden arrival of Napoleon himself with an army in Spain forced Moore to begin withdrawing to the port of A Coruña, a far northern port in Spain near the Bay of Biscay.
Soult faced the British army at Coruña at the very time it was evacuating.
Marshal Soult marched into A Coruña shortly after the British had left and, finding the body of Sir John Moore, gave the British commander a proper burial.

Nicolas Soult vies with Davout and perhaps Massena for the title of the most capable of Napoleon's marshals.
Soult served at Liitzen and Bautzen but the deteriorating situation in Spain led to his being sent back (much against his wife's will, who argued with Napoleon over the posting!) in overall command of the unified French armies.
Soult's reputation has suffered only through his ambition, fearsome reputation for avarice and plunder, and his unwillingness to co-operate with fellow-marshals or even obey orders from his superiors.
