Nicolas-Jean de Dieu Soult (1769–1851)

Jean-de-Dieu Soult was made Duke of Dalmatia, Marshal of the Empire, and then Marshal General of France. His hometown of Saint-Amans-la-Bastide was renamed Saint-Amans-Soult in his honor. He wrote a memoir during his lifetime, and his notes and journals were arranged by his son Napoléon Hector, who published the first part, Mémoires du maréchal-général Soult, in 1854. Another book, Le Noble's Mémoires sur les operations des Français en Galicie, is supposed to have been written from Soult's papers.
