    There are two great stories I have read on Bernadotte after he had turned on France were (1) during the siege of Antwerp in 1814 when Bernadotte sent an aide-de-camp under a flag of truce in an attempt to cajole Carnot into surrendering the fortress. Carnot's blunt refusal 'addressed Bernadotte as 'a prince, born a Frenchman, who knows so much about the standards of honorable conduct''; and (2) an old soldier's 'yarn' that had Bernadotte 'demanding a parley' with the commander of a fortress in Germany held by the French. Apparently, so the story goes, a sentry quickly fired at him, and Bernadotte protested at this seeming disrespect of a flag of truce. Bernadotte was told, undoubtedly straight faced, that the sentry was merely attempting to 'apprehend a French deserter.' Too bad the sentry missed.

    'I do not understand the value of insulting stories within the original post. Do you?'


    Why insulting? The two 'stories' definitely outline what the French thought of Bernadotte after he joined the allies and it isn't complimentary. Bernadotte's character was definitely flawed, he was not in the top tier of marshals, and he turned on his own countrymen and the troops that he had led.


    The 'value' is that they shed a light on Bernadotte the man who doesn't, in my opinion, deserve admiration despite Titeaux's efforts to the contrary.


    As Crown Prince of Sweden in 1813-1814 he conducted himself for all intents and purposes, merely as an ADC to Alexander.

    He did not "join the allies". He became one when he became Crown Prince of Sweden. This was what Napoleon wanted.


    He had not "turned on his own countrymen" he was Swedish. Napoleon had released him from his French citizenship in order to get him to take the title of Crown Prince of Sweden. He was not a traitor to France, even Napoleon stated that. Members have contacted me showing many places where this has been pointed out, and supported, to you on a number of occasions and in a number of places.


    It would appear that Alexander had a pretty good ADC! A little French humor, on my part.


    It is said that "A lie told enough times becomes the truth." QED.
