Auguste de Marmont

Marmont commanded the XI Corps at Wagram. His corps held the French left flank against Austrian attacks, and he was promoted to Marshal of the Empire for his performance.

Marmont was appointed Governor-General of the Illyrian Provinces. He administered the region, implemented French legal and administrative reforms, and improved infrastructure.

Marmont commanded the French Army of Portugal at Salamanca. His forces were defeated by Wellington's Anglo-Portuguese army, and Marmont was wounded, leading to a French retreat from Spain.

Marmont commanded the French VI Corps defending Paris. After a day of fighting, he surrendered the city to the Allies, a decision that contributed to Napoleon's abdication.

Marmont defected to the Bourbon monarchy after the fall of Paris. He led his corps to the Allied lines, a move seen as betrayal by Napoleon and his supporters.

Marmont went into exile after the July Revolution of 1830, refusing to serve Louis-Philippe. He died in Venice, having spent his final years writing memoirs defending his actions.
