MONTBRUN, LOUIS PIERRE, COUNT (1770-1812)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 761 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONTBRUN, LOUIS PIERRE, COUNT (1770-1812) , French cavalry general, served with
great
  distinction in the cavalry arm throughout the wars of the Revolution and the Consulate, and in 1800 was appointed to command his
regiment
 , having served therein from trooper upwards. At Austerlitz (Dec. 2, 18o5) he was promoted general of brigade. He earned further distinction in Germany and Poland as a dashing
leader
  of
horse
 , and in 18o8 he was sent into Spain. Here occurred an incident which unfavourably influenced his whole career. He found himself obliged to overstay his leave of absence in order to protect the lady who afterwards became his wife.
Napoleon
  was furious, and deprived him of his command, and
Montbrun
  was awaiting his master's' decision when an opportunity came to retrieve his reputation. Some doubt exists as to the events of the famous cavalry charge at the Somosierra, but
Montbrun
 's share in it was most conspicuous. Soon after-wards he was promoted to be general of division, and in 18og his cavalry took no inconsiderable
part
  in the victories of Eckmuhl and Raab. He was employed in the Peninsula, r810-1811. He was killed, when commanding a cavalry corps, at the beginning of the battle of Borodino (Sept. 7, 1812). Montbrun was considered, as a
leader
  of heavy cavalry, second only to
Kellermann
  of all the generals of the First
Empire
 .
