Answer 2

There were 18 Marshalls of the Empire of France that were named by Napoleon Bonaparte and it must be kept in mind that it does not equate to a specific rank such as Field Marshall, General of the Arny or Armies. It was never a 3,4.5.or more star promotion. A Fench Marshal in the history of the nation was awarded the Baton as an award and not as as a reward. It is a symbol in the form of a deep sky blue symbol adorned with either stars, Imperial Eagles or Fleur de lis dependent on the Era for exceptional service to France as a General Officer.

Some commanded Infantry and a few were French Cavalry Officers. Some like Murat were both Admirals of the French Navy, Cavalry Officer and Commanders of the Cavalry of France. To command the Cavalry of France, it was not essential to be a Marshal.

Napoleon was many things, but he was not a Marshall of France.

As a footnote, a higher award has been given to six General Officers; Marshall General of France.
