Led by such enigmatic characters as Murat, Lasalle, d’Hautpoul, and Kellerman, the French cavalry became the most potent in all of Europe during the first decade of the 19th century. However, neglect by previous regimes meant that they boasted a mediocre record during the Revolutionary Wars, and it wasn’t until the time of the Empire that they truly reached their peak. In the following video we track this development, discuss their tactics, and figure out how they became so dominant, rightly earning their spot as part of Napoleon’s most potent weapon, la Grande Armée. • Sources cited in order of appearance: • Battles of the Great Commanders – Anthony Livesey • The French Cavalry – David Johnson • The Art of War – Antoine-Henri Jomini • From Flintlock to Rifle – Steven T.
