Napoleon Bonaparte [August 15, 1769-May 5, 1821] filled the office of Marshal of France twenty-six times during his First Empire [1804-1814]. Perhaps his most flamboyant choice to put in charge of his cavalry was brother-in-law Joachim-Napoleon Murat [March 25, 1767-October 13, 1815]. Murat was known for quick thinking and quick wit, good looks, and daring cavalry charges. For example, he managed to move cannons all the way to the center of Paris without attracting the attention of rambunctious, rampant rioters. At his execution before a firing squad, he refused to have his eyes covered, or to sit down: "I have braved death too often to fear it." His final words were, "Save my face - aim for the chest - fire!"

Did Napoleon lose the Battle of Waterloo because he was unsure of his troops?
No, I do not think that is the case. Quite simply he has the force to defeat what opposes him: Wellington. Despite the weather, and the lack of mobility this means for the artillery. He has ample cavalry & plenty of infantry. What he does not have is the force to defeat the British & the Prussians, but he has detached Marshal Grouchy to keep the Prussians at bay.... Has anyone seen Grouchy ?? No: I am not blaming Grouchy... Napoleon had no Plan B.....
