Soult, Nicolas Jean de Dieu

Born Mar. 29, 1769, at Saint Amans-la-Bastide, now Saint Amans-Soult, in the department of Tarn; died there Nov. 27, 1851. French marshal (1804). Duke of Dalmatia (1807).

The son of a notary, Soult joined the army in 1785 as a noncommissioned officer. He distinguished himself during the revolutionary wars and was made a brigadier general for his conduct in the battle of Fleurus in 1794. In 1799 he was made a general in command of a division. He served in the Napoleonic Wars, and from 1805 to 1807 he commanded an infantry corps in wars against Austria, Russia, and Prussia. From 1808 to 1812 and from 1813 to 1814 he commanded armies in Spain, Portugal, and southern France, and in 1813 he fought in Germany.
