Dear Patrons, 

I've created a compilation video of all 6 episodes of Napoleon's Marshals - 3 hours of video, 23,000 words of script! You can watch it now on YouTube - it goes live later this afternoon. (Obviously there's no Patreon charge for compilation videos).

I also thought I'd share a few sneak peeks at the new Vitoria video (very much still work-in-progress, though you can admire the lovely battlefield map courtesy of HistoryMarche channel):

Finally, for those who don't do social media, there's been a number of new releases in the Epic History TV merch shop recently, including the Manga Marshals range, and this Napoleonic Marshals poster:

Don't forget the discount code which many of you will be entitled to as a Patreon supporter!

That's all for the moment, hope you enjoy the weekend wherever you may be. 

Best,

Toby

Napoleon's Marshals (All Parts)

In 1804 Napoleon created 18 'Marshals of the Empire', to serve as the senior officers of the Grande Armée. He created a further 8 before his abdication in 1814. A few were aristocrats, but others were the sons of shopkeepers or tailors. The most favoured became princes and kings. Among their ranks were legendary figures such as Marshals Lannes, Ney, Soult, Davout and Masséna, but also less well know figures like Pérignon, Brune and Moncey. Our series explores the lives of all 26 Marshals, and ranks them according to our own judgement of their achievements as Marshals.

Lewis C

Yayy. Hope it bangs on YouTube like your other compilations

Walide

Great ! I really love this period of History.

Niall Higgins

I wondered if you’d ever consider putting the audios of your videos on something like Spotify?

Lewis C

That would be brilliant

Stuart Carver

Well I know what I’m doing for the next 3 hours 😉 love the battle map didn’t realise Vitoria was over what looks like a very wide front unlike Salamanca for example

Eli Khanam

Finally! After the Russia videos, you went straight into Napoleon's downfall and Spain was only randomly touched on.

Stuart Carver

Do you have to have a sponsor though? I get it more the normal ones and that’s fine but for the compilations part of the appeal is to be able to watch all of it uninterrupted.

EpicHistoryTV

It's part of how I pay my bills, I'm afraid. There is just a 1 minute sponsor spot in a 3 hour video.

Eiko Streitz

Thanks again for your content !! I just got the idea that this could be also a cool format to cover some of Alexander's Diadochi...

Amin Ibrahim

Fantastic stuff, rough eta for Vittoria?

Tom Vansel

Toby, Napoleon would have awarded you a Légion d'honneur from his own chest for the quality of this Documentary! Outstanding!

EpicHistoryTV

Hi Niall, unfortunately the issues with music licensing don't make this possible.

Line_of_Blood

Wow, I thought I would wait at least a year for the compilation based on past experience, awesome Toby!

Stuart Carver

Pedantic I know but still. Hope you mention Copenhagen he was acquired by Wellington at some point in the 1813 campaign right?

EpicHistoryTV

I worry that the Marengo fans would think I was showing favouritism!

Stuart Carver

Haha I guess. A future video for a laugh could be Horses of La Grande Armée 🤔🤨😮

Richard Fernandes

Good afternoon Toby! Is today the release of The Battle of Victoria video for Patreon supporters?

Hisham Yousif

Toby, I wanted to say how much of an impact this series had on me. I’m a serving officer in the US and the Army is a bureaucracy now. It took your presentation of this period of history with its merit based valor and combat leadership to really inspire me and reignite my passion to my profession which I lost somewhere in the last 9 years. I just came back from a week long trip to Paris, I spent two days at Les Invalids visiting the Emperor, and an entire afternoon at Pere Lachaise Cemetery finding most of the Marshals’ resting places. I paid respects to my favorite Marshal, Marshal Lannes, at the Pantheon all while reading a biography of him. Before I left I made sure to pick up my own Baton at La Boutique Napoleon of course. Vive L’Emperuer! Thanks a lot! I’m a proud patron!

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you Hisham, that's great to hear. Last time I was in Paris I stumbled across Marshal Lannes' tomb in Montmartre Cemetery, he's right next to Edgar Degas! Thanks for your support!

Hisham Yousif

Yes, his heart rests in his in-laws chapel in the Montmartre Cemetery, the rest of him was laid to rest in an elaborate ceremony in 1810 at the Pantheon. Crypt 22.
