LES FASTES DE L'ORDRE IMPERIAL DE LA RÉUNION (1811 - 1815) - TROIS VOLUMES.
THE SPLENDOURS OF THE IMPERIAL ORDER OF THE REUNION (1811 - 1815). "All for the Empire."
THREE VOLUMES. Historical and biographical dictionary. Volumes I, II, III.
Titles and rewards of all kinds have long existed in Europe. Their purpose remains the same: to link important figures and men of merit to the sovereign and his dynasty. In France, when the coup d'état of the 18th Brumaire brings General Bonaparte to power, this former general of the Revolution apprehends like no other the effect that these distinctions can have on one's self-esteem. Less than two months after the installation of the Consulate, he establishes weapons of honor to reward high feats of arms. Two thousand one hundred and four will be distributed. He quickly understands the necessity of a national distinction, accessible to both military and civilians, and creates the Order of the Legion of Honor, which will be immensely successful. His brothers and sisters, placed on different conquered or vacant thrones, all create their own orders.
In Holland, Louis Bonaparte thus creates an order, the success of which will be such that Napoleon, at the time of the reunion of Holland with the Empire in 1810, is forced to find a new way to link it to his dynasty. With the help of the Archchancellor Cambacérès, the Archtreasurer Lebrun, and the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honor Lacépède, he creates the Imperial Order of the Reunion, of which all recipients from annexed countries can, in exchange for their former distinctions, apply for attribution. With this order, the Emperor not only can compensate members of the abolished orders but also relieve the Legion of Honor.
Based on private archives and the collection of the Legion of Honor museum, "All for the Empire" delivers the complete history of this order, including the biographies of all the recipients and many previously unknown details.
A recognized specialist in the "red lancers" and, more generally, the armies of the First Empire, author of around fifteen works and numerous articles, editor-in-chief of the Napoleonic Soldiers, Ronald Pawly is a demanding historian who works only with primary sources, drawing from often overlooked archives first-hand information that enables him to provide valuable syntheses. He proves this once again with this exhaustive work on a prestigious yet ephemeral distinction directly linked to the history of Napoleon.
Format: octavo (16 x 24 cm).
Vol. I 484 p., II 544 p., III 460 p., ill. Bound.
