Dear Patrons, 

A few sneak peeks at the next Napoleon's Marshals episode. This will be out on Patreon on Friday next week, and will feature four more Marshals. 

Now we're down to the last 9 it's difficult to give clues that don't seem completely obvious! But you can get 3 of the 4 from the images here. The last will remain a mystery for now...

I hope you all have a good weekend, and thank you again for your support!

Can’t wait : ) I always look forward to your videos, whatever the topic is, but I have to say, these napoleonic videos are truly amazing. Great Work! Btw can someone tell me which 9 Marshals are left? Oudinot, Ney, Davout, Macdonald, Lannes, Soult and Massena are the ones I can recall. Who are the other 2?

Bence Fehér

Oudinot has already featured, it's Suchet, Bessieres and Berthier

Crown Prince Sebastian Johan of Ponte Corvo

Mac, Bess, Eugene? (or Berthier I imagine)? Eugene was not a Marshal, unless honorary despite being Viceroy. But MacDonald led the Army of Italy so I am thinking two clues for one man. Bess was at Abokir, and met his fate thanks to a cannonball. Of the men that were in Egypt only Bessieres, Lannes and Berthier have yet to be featured. Lannes is probably regard in the Top 3 so...

Elisabeth Chan

MacDonald, Masséna and Bessières(?)—also Soult/Ney/Suchet for the remaining one Saw the quotes in the last picture and instantly thought of MacDonald because it’s just so obvious if you have read MacDonald’s “Recollections”. MacDonald is one very interesting fella and he deserves a biography (same goes for Bessières because I really want a bio of him but sadly it seem like there’s no books on him except the group biographies on the marshals ;-;)

Crown Prince Sebastian Johan of Ponte Corvo

I would rank Suchet in the Top 5. I think maybe Berthier. One has to fit him in somewhere. But it could also be Ney. To be honest I would not rank him in the Top 10. As you say, he was never great in independent command and did his best work under Napoleon himself, or under the guidance of a more senior Marshal like in 1807 when under Bernadotte's command. I am thinking maybe Ney, if I were Toby I would give no clues because any clue would be too obvious for the most famous Marshal of them all and the Bravest of the Brave.

I'm really waiting to see the top 3. Soult is seen as a great marshal but I want to know more. Mostly because he fought the Península wars and I'm Portuguese 😁

Gordian III

Soult is probably going to be in the top 3. He was one of the only marshals in Spain (along with Suchet and Victor) that didn't disgrace himself. My Top 3 prediction is 3. Lannes, 2. Soult and 1. Davout.

Wait, if there are 9 marshals left and this video covers 4, are we going to have another 4 for the top 5 - 2 and a solo video for Davout? XD Kidding, kidding That first quote is about MacDonald (?), who also badassedly got promoted to marshal on the battlefield. The black and white picture (in Marengo?), cannonball quote, and Aboukir picture are of Bessieres. The Oath of the Marshals and the teaser on your FB seems to be Massena? Always thought he was going to be in Top 5! Can't wait to see where he ranks!

EpicHistoryTV

It's a good question - my approach has been just to release a video when there's enough content, but now I have a problem! Probably three, then two. I've already written Ney's entry and it's as long as Murat's.

After when you are done with Napoléon’s marshals can you do his Italian campaign because that would really awesome and calling it awesome would be an understatement

Matt White

Would also be cool to do Napoleon history at the end or a separate vid

EpicHistoryTV

I think the Italian campaign is very likely to be a future series.

Murat's bio was the best of the lot.. really put some effort into that maybe your personal favourite? :D

EpicHistoryTV

Well maybe not my favourite, but he's probably got the best story to tell!

Damien Pugh

Hi Toby is this the last one in the Marshal series or is there one more after this? Thanks!

Richard Fernandes

Good Afternoon Toby! Is it today We'll see the newest episode of the current Series? Thanks

Lewis C

EpicHistoryTV

Sorry, more like 8pm - it's a big file and taking a long time to upload!

Richard Fernandes

Okey. Thank You for keeping Us informed. It means this latest video is a bit longer than the previous one?

Lucian Simionescu
