*Son of a former soldier, Michel Ney was born in Saarlouis on January 10, 1769. A cavalryman in the Hussars since 1787, he distinguished himself during the French Revolutionary Wars. Promoted to Major General in 1799, he gained the trust of the First Consul, who made him one of his first marshals (1804). In 1805, he led the 6th Hussar Corps into Germany and distinguished himself at the Battle of Elchingen. After Friedland in 1807, Napoleon I named him Duke of Elchingen. The man whom the Emperor nicknamed "The Bravest of the Brave" distinguished himself in Spain from 1808 to 1811, at the Battle of Borodino (Moskova) in Russia in 1812, and then at Krasnoye at the head of the rearguard. On November 28, at the Berezina River, he was the last to cross the Niemen. A hero of the retreat, he was made Prince of Borodino. Doubt crept into his mind after the campaigns in Germany (1813) and France (1814). Made a Peer of France by Louis XVIII, he rallied to Napoleon in 1815 and led the final cavalry charge at Waterloo. Arrested, he was condemned for treason and executed on December 7, 1815.
