"Useless efforts"
I found a very interesting letter from Fouché to Murat I’ve never seen before, on Autographes-Manuscripta, (the same site that featured a great letter from Lannes a while back). Stuff tends to disappear from this site after a time (a lot of these letters end up auctioned off to private buyers), so I’ve snagged the image of it. It’s difficult to read but I can at least translate the description and excerpts provided by the site:
The date of the letter is 16 May 1809.
Description:
A beautiful and long letter on Napoleon, the empire, its main allies and rivals, and especially the dynastic deficiency which threatens the Empire on the eve of the battle of Wagram against the Austrian army. Indeed, Fouché approached Talleyrand to organized Murat’s accession to the throne in the event of the Emperor’s accidental death on campaign.
Excerpt:
I have not had the opportunity to write Your Majesty since the departure of M. Salicetti [Corsican friend of Napoleon, former Minister of the Police and War in the Kingdom of Naples; Napoleon asked Murat to send him to Rome]. A lot has happened since that time. The Emperor left Paris on 13 April and arrived in Vienna on May 10. I hope that the Austrian monarchy, our enemy, will no longer be relieved and that the victor will at last occupy himself with constituting his dynasty in such a way that it will be sheltered from the storms. When it was learned in Paris that His Majesty had been hit by a bullet there was a unanimous wish that he would not leave his capital again before being able to leave children there. I’ve said it often and won’t stop repeating it: the friends of the Bonaparte dynasty will defend it with their courage and their blood, but they will make useless efforts if we have the misfortune to lose the Emperor before he gives the world heirs to his glory and his life. Our present situation is good outside and inside. Russia is still on good terms with us, and the Emperor Alexander seems sincerely attached to the Emperor Napoleon. Prussia is too little in the balance to count her. Austria is in dissolution. We are quiet inside—there is not a point in the empire where the slightest disorder can go unpunished. In Paris people always gossip, but they are good and docile there when they are not very irritated or tormented. We are sad during the Emperor’s absence and we impatiently await his return. The chronicle does not offer anything very remarkable. The archchancellor [Cambacérès] is still constant in his loves, the Prince of Benevento [Talleyrand] left the Baroness of Montmorency for the Countess R. de St Jean d’Angély. I counted on having the good fortune to write to the Queen [Caroline Murat] today, but I have had a fever for eight days and I have been asked to shorten this letter.
Fouché closes by telling Murat “I pray Your Majesty believe that at no time will he find a servant more faithful and more attached.”
Regarding the woman Fouché claims is Talleyrand’s new mistress, the Countess Regnaud de St. Jean-d’Angély, Napoleon.org claims this was merely Fouché trying to stir up trouble for her and her husband due to their anti-Bonaparte connections.
Here's the image of the original letter from Fouché to Murat, under a cut since it's a bit large.

1838 – Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord,
Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (/ˌtælɪrænd ˈpɛrɪɡɔːr/,[1]French: [ʃaʁl mɔʁis də tal(ɛ)ʁɑ̃ peʁiɡɔʁ, – moʁ-]; 2 February 1754 – 17 May 1838), 1st Prince of Benevento, then Prince of Talleyrand, was a French secularized clergyman, statesman and leading diplomat. After studying theology, he became Agent-General of the Clergy in 1780. In 1789, just before the French Revolution, he became Bishop of Autun.
He worked at the highest levels of successive French governments, most commonly as foreign minister or in some other diplomatic capacity. His career spanned the regimes of Louis XVI, the years of the French Revolution, Napoleon, Louis XVIII, and Louis-Philippe. Those Talleyrand served often distrusted him but, like Napoleon, found him extremely useful. The name "Talleyrand" has become a byword for crafty, cynical diplomacy.
During the last years of his life Talleyrand began planning his reconciliation with the Catholic Church. On 16 May 1838, he signed a retraction of his errors towards the church and a letter of submission to Pope Gregory XVI. He died the following day at 3:55 p.m., at Saint-Florentin.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand Périgord (1754–1838), the first Prince of Benevento, was arguably the greatest politician and diplomat in modern French era. He was a foreign minister under Louis XVI. Talleyrand was made Bishop of Autun by Louis XVI in 1788 and served in a number of influential posts, including in the First Estate of the Estates-General in 1789 and the National Assembly: http://bit.ly/Talleyrand_Périgord

Some books about Napoleonic era...
... and not only it
And now, my dear friends, let me share with you a little bit about the books about Napoleonic era I read recently (and long ago as well ;) Because, you know, thanks to you I discovered a lot of interesting books and articles, so I feel obliged to do something for you in return.
And though almost all I read is in Polish, I was able to collect a set of books which are available in English (or French).
So, let’s go!
1. The book I would like to start with is “Napoleon and the women” written by Frédéric Masson. Frankly speaking, I read this one long long ago, just - as far as I remember - after watching “Napoleon and Josephine” TV series. And now, having stumbled upon another Masson’s book (see below) I suddenly recalled this one. (And decided to start with it, because it was in kinda first one of the publications which introduced me into that epoch ))).
2. The second book (the very same I have finished reading just this month) of Masson I would like to recommend you is Napoleon at home. Really interesting book, with a lot of details about the emperor’s usual life, thanks to which I was able to look at him and see not only as a military commander and the head of the state, but a human being also.
3. Continuing the topic of Napoleon’s private life - there is a book from Guy Breton’s series Histoires d'amour de l'histoire de France, devoted to it (in fact, there are even two books there, the second one is called Napoleon and Marie-Louise).
Btw, I read all the books from the series and, frankly speaking, some of them looked rather like collections of anecdotes. But, nevertheless, it was kinda fun to read them.
4. Daily life in France under Napoleon by Jean Robiquet. Just one of the books I read recently. But it was about our favorite epoch (and it was in English), so...
5. La Victoire de la Grande Armée (the English title approximately should sound like “The victory of the Grand Army”, but I am not sure whether it was translated to it, I read it in Polish) by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Well, this will be the only fiction in this list of mine. And the only book about which I can’t much good, but... Yes, there are a lot of historical discrepancies there (like Poniatowski and Grouchy being marshals already in 1812, and prince Józef’s second name as Aleksander instead of Antoni), and the protagonist ( a general named François Beille) is a complete Marty-Stew, but... But to have a “universe” where Napoleon wins in 1812 and Poniatowski isn’t killed, even it is fiction - this meant a lot to me.
6. From Napoleon let’s move to Talleyrand. The latest biography of him I read was Talleyrand. The Art of Survival by Jean Orieux. And, frankly speaking, it was the best from all I read about prince of Benevento. Some of the rest book about him, however, were in English, so for those who are interested, I am giving below their titles:
Joseph McCabe, Talleyrand: A biographical Study
David Lawday, Napoleon's Master, A Life of Prince Talleyrand
Duff Cooper, Talleyrand
7. And from one of the famous diplomats of the French history let’s move to the history of diplomacy itself. A couple of years ago I read (in Polish) the book written by Nicolas Mietton on the topic of “Erotic history of the French diplomacy”. Not that there was much about Napoleon (though there was a chapter devoted to Talleyrand), but some facts about Louis the XVI were kinda revelation for me.
8. From the books about France let’s move to ones about Poland. This one, on the topic of The Duchy of Warsaw, written by professor Jarosław Czubaty, was initially published, as you might have guessed, in Polish. But it later was translate to English, and that is why I am able now to sincerely recommend it to you. (@historyman101 , might it be of your interest?)
9. And the last but not the least is the book about the Polish history in whole. Its name is God’s Playground (”Boże igrzysko” in Polish), and it is also available in English, because Norman Davies, its author, is British (and a great polonophile ;))
PS. O, how could I forget this?
10. Prince Józef Poniatowski, Pepi’s biography written by Szymon Askenazy, one of the famous Polish historians of Napoleonic era, was also translated to French, English and even German.

E lalmirall reebe les ab gran goig e ab gran alegre , e ajenollas, e besa la ma a madona la infanta.
Ramon Muntaner, CRÓNICA CATALANA, p. 221
Beatrice was born (probably) in Palermo around 1260. She was the first child and only daughter of Manfredi I of Sicily and his second wife, the Epirote princess Helena Angelina Doukaina (“[…] et idem helenam despoti regis emathie filiam sibi matrimonialiter coppulavit, ex quibus nata fuit Beatrix.”, Bartholomaeus de Neocastro, Historia Sicula, in Giuseppe Del Re, Cronisti e Scrittori sincroni Napoletani editi ed inediti, p. 419). It’s quite plausible the baby had been named after Manfredi’s first wife, Beatrice of Savoy (mother of Costanza, who will later become Queen consort of Aragon and co-regnant of Sicily). The little princess would soon be followed by three brothers: Enrico, Federico and Enzo (also called Anselmo or Azzolino). With three sons, Manfredi must have thought his succession was secured.
Beatrice’s father was one Federico II of Sicily’s many illegitimate children, although born from his most beloved mistress (and possibly fourth and last wife), Bianca Lancia. Since his father’s death in 1250, Manfredi had governed the Kingdom of Sicily on behalf firstly of his (legitimate) half-brother Corrado and, after his death in 1254, of Corrado’s son, Corradino. In 1258, two years prior Beatrice’s birth, Manfredi had been crowned King of Sicily in Palermo’s Cathedral, de facto usurping his half-nephew’s rights.
Like it had happened with Federico, Manfredi was soon opposed by the Papacy, which didn’t approve of the Hohenstaufen’s rule over Sicily (and Southern Italy with it) and the role of the King as the champion of the Ghibellines faction. In 1263, Urban VI managed to convince Charles of Anjou, younger brother of Louis IX the Saint, to present himself as a contender to the Sicilian throne. Three years later, on January 6th 1266, the French duke was crowned King of Sicily by the Pope in Rome, thus overthrowing Manfredi. On February 26th, in Benevento, the usurped King then tried to get back his kingdom by facing Charles in the open field, but failed and lost his life while fighting.
The now widowed Queen Helena had previously fled to Lucera (in Apulia) with her children (Beatrice was now six), her sister-in-law Costanza, and her step-daughter, the illegitimate Flordelis, where she thought they would be safer. When they got news of the disaster of Benevento and Manfredi’s death, they fled to Trani from where they planned to set off to Epirus. The unfortunate party was instead betrayed and handed off to the Angevin. On March 6th night, Helena and the children were taken hostage and later separated. The Queen was sent at first to Lagopesole (in Basilicata) and finally to Nocera Christianorum (now Nocera Inferiore), where she would die still in captivity in 1271.
Enrico, Federico and Enzo were taken to Castel del Monte. Following Corradino’s death in 1268, Manfredi’s young sons (the oldest, Enrico, was just four at the time of his capture) were, to all effects, the rightful heirs to the Sicilian throne. It’s undoubtful Charles must have wanted them gone, or at least forgotten. In 1300 they were moved to Naples, in Castel dell’Ovo (which, at that time, was called San Salvatore a mare), under the order of the new Angevin king, Charles II. According to some sources, Federico and Enzo died there within the short span of a year. As for Enrico, he died alone and miserable in October 1318, he was 56.
As for Beatrice, her fate was more merciful compared to that of her mother and brothers and, for that, she had to thank her sex, which made her harmless in Charles’ eyes (as long as she was left unmarried). After being separated from her family (she will never see them again), the six years old princess was, like her brothers, held captive (although not together) in Castel del Monte. In 1271, she was moved to Naples, in Castel dell’Ovo, under the guardianship of its keeper, a French nobleman called either Landolfo or Radolfo Ytolant. Manfredi’s daughter is mentioned in a rescript of Charles dated March 5th 1272, from which we learn she had been granted at least a maid (“V Marcii xv indictionis. Neapoli. Scriptum est Iustitiario et erario Terre laboris etc. Cum ex computo facto per magistrum rationalem Nicolaum Buccellum etc. cum Landulfo milite castellano castri nostri Salvatoris ad mare de Neapoli pro expensis filie quondam Manfridi Principis Tarentini et damicelle sue. ac filie quondam comitis Iordani et damicelle sue dicto castellano in unc. auri novem et taren. sex de pecunia presentis generalis subventionis residuorum quolibet vel qua canque alia etc. persolvatis. non obstante etc. Recepturus etc.”, Monumenti n. XLIV. in Domenico Forges Davanzati, Dissertazione sulla seconda moglie del re Manfredi e su’ loro figliuoli, p. XLIII-XLIV). Like it had happened with her mother, and unlike her brothers, it appears Beatrice was treated with courtesy and respect. In her misfortune, she could count on the company of a fellow prisoner and distant relative, the daughter of Giordano Lancia d’Agliano, who was her grandmother Bianca Lancia’s cousin and had been a loyal supporter of her father, Manfredi.
On Easter Day of 1282, an anti-Angevin rebellion sparkled in Palermo would soon transform itself into a war to get rid of the so much hated Frenchmen, the so-called War of the Sicilian Vespers. It’s dubious that, close in her prison, Beatrice came to know about it. She might have also been surprised to know that her half-sister, Costanza, had been asked by a delegation of fellow Sicilians to take possession of what was hers by right (the throne) as she was their “naturalis domina”. Her rights were shared with her husband, Pedro III of Aragon, who would personally take part in the war and be rewarded with a joint coronation in November 1282.
For Beatrice, everything changed in 1284. On June 4th, Italian Admiral Ruggero di Lauria, at the service of the Aragonese King (he was also Costanza’s milk brother), defeated the Angevin fleet just offshore from Naples and took Carlo II prisoner. Being in clear superiority, the Sicilians could now demand (among many requests) the release of Princess Beatrice. Carlo’s eldest son and heir, Carlo Martello Prince of Salerno, could nothing other than obliging them. (“Siciliani autem , & omnes faventes Petro Aragonum, incontinenti de ipsorum victoria plurimum exultantes, Nuncios, & Legatos ad quoddam Castrum ex parte Principis direxerunt , ubi quaedam filia quondam Domini Regis Manfredi sub custodia tenebatur , ut dicta filia fine ullo remedio laxaretur , quae statim fuit antedictis Legatis , & Nunciis restituta.”, Anonimo Regiense, Memoriale Potestatum Regiensium. Gestorumque iis Temporibus. Ab anno 1154 usque ad Annum 1290, in Ludovico Antonio Muratori, Rerum Italicarum scriptores ab anno aerae christianae quingentesimo ad millesimumquingentesimum, vol. VIII, p. 1158).
Beatrice, finally free, left Castel dell’Ovo headed for Capri, where the Admiral was waiting for her. She had spent 18 long years in captivity and was now 24. From Capri she reached Sicily, where she was warmly welcomed and with a lot of enthusiasm, to meet her half-sister Costanza.
As the Queen’s closest free relative (both Pedro and Costanza had no interest in asking for Enrico’s release since, as a male, he had more rights than Costanza to inherit the throne), Beatrice had a great political value. At first, Ranieri Della Gherardesca’s name came up. He was the son of that Count Gherardo who had fought together with the unfortunate Corradino (the sisters’ royal cousin), and for that had been beheaded in Naples in 1268 alongside his liege. Finally the perfect candidate was found. Manfredo of Saluzzo was born in 1262 and was the son of Marquis Tommaso I and his wife Luigia of Ceva. Like Beatrice, Manfredo was strongly related to Costanza, specifically, he was her nephew since Tommaso and the Sicilian Queen were half-siblings (they were both Beatrice of Savoy’s children).
The marriage contract between the two is dated July 3rd 1286 and the contracting parties are on one side “la serenissima signora constanza regina dy aragon e dy sicilia e dil ducato de puglia principato di capua” and, on the other side “il marchexe thomas di sa lucio signore de conio una cum mạdona alexia soa moglie”. Tommaso declares that Manfredi will inherit his title, privileges and possession upon his death. If, after the marriage is celebrated, Manfredi were to die first, Beatrice would enjoy possession of the castle and some properties. The Marquise Luisa declares to agree with her husband’s decision (“[…] e a tuto questo la marchexa aloysia madre dy manfredo consenty”, Gioffredo Della Chiesa, Cronaca di Saluzzo, p. 165-166). The union was formally celebrated the year after.
Beatrice bore Manfredi two children: Caterina and Federico, born presumably in 1287 (“Et da questa beatrix haue uno figlolo chiamato fredericho et una figlola chiamata Kterina” Gioffredo Della Chiesa, Cronaca di Saluzzo, p. 185). In 1296 Tommaso died, so Manfredi inherited the marquisate and Beatrice became Marquise consort of Saluzzo. She will die eleven years later at 47, on November 19th 1307 (“Venne a morte nel dì 19 novembre di quest’anno Beatrice di Sicilia moglie del nostro marchese Manfredo, e noi ne accertiamo il segnato giorno col mezzo del rituale del monastero di Revello , nel quale leggesi annotato: 19 novembris anniversarium d. Beatricis filiae quondam d. Manfredi regis Ceciliae et uxoris d. Manfredi primogeniti d. Thomae marchionis Saluciarum, quae huic monasterio quingen- tas untias in suo testamento legavit.” Delfino Muletti, Memorie storico-diplomatiche appartenenti alla città ed ai marchesi di Saluzzo, vol III, p. 76). Her husband would quickly remarry with Isabella Doria, daughter of Genoese patricians Bernabò Doria and Eleonora Fieschi. Isabella would give birth to five more children: Manfredi, Bonifacio, Teodoro, Violante and Eleonora.
As of Beatrice’s children, Caterina would marry Guglielmo Enganna, Lord of Barge (“Catherina figlola dy manfredo e de la prima moglie fu sorella dy padre e dy madre dy fede rico e fu moglie duno missere gulielmo ingana capo dy parte gebellina in questy cartiery dil pie monty verso bargie.”, Gioffredo Della Chiesa, Cronaca di Saluzzo, p. 256). Federico’s fate would be more complicated. Like many mothers before and after her, Isabella Doria wished to see her own firstborn, Manfredi, succeeded his father rather than her step-son. The new Marchioness of Saluzzo successfully instigated her husband against his son to the point the Marquis. in a donatio mortis causa dated 1325, disinherited Federico in favour of the second son (Federico would have settled with just his late mother’s belongings), Manfredi (“Et questo faceua a instigatione de la moglie che lo infestaua a cossi fare.” Gioffredo Della Chiesa, Cronaca di Saluzzo, p. 224). Federico’s natural rights were later acknowledged by an arbitral award proclaimed in 1329 by his paternal uncles Giovanni and Giorgio of Saluzzo, and finally, an arbitration verdict dated 1334 and issued by Guglielmo Earl of Biandrate and Aimone of Savoy. As a condition of peace, the future Marquis should have granted his younger brother the castle and villa of Cardè as a fief. Stung by this defeat, Manfredi IV, his wife Isabella and beloved son Manfredi retired to Cortemilla. Federico died in 1336 and was succeeded by his son Tommaso, who would inherit his father’s rights and feud with the two Manfredi's. After being defeated by his half-uncle in 1341 (the older Manfredi, his grandfather, had died the year before), resulting in losing his titles, possessions and freedom, Tommaso would later regain what was of his right and rule as Marquis of Saluzzo.

“Stupidly, I show an interest in Monsieur de Talleyrand”
From Memoires d’Outre Tomb by Chateaubriand. Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, abdicated, and the Bourbons are returning to Paris from Ghent. Chateaubriand naively helped Talleyrand and felt like a fool. This is an interesting description of Talleyrand’s personality.
Monsieur de Talleyrand, in all the pride of a negotiation which had enriched him, claimed to have rendered the Legitimacy the greatest of services, and returned as master. Astonished that no one has as yet followed the route he had traced in returning to Paris, he was even more discontented at finding Monsieur de Blacas [a favorite of Louis XVIII] with the King.
Monsieur de Talleyrand entered Mons at about six in the evening, accompanied by the Abbé Louis: Monsieur de Riccé, Monsieur de Jaucourt and several other table-companions of his who flew to meet him. In a mood not seen in him before, the mood of a king who thinks his authority flouted, he refused at first to go to Louis XVIII’s residence, replying to those who urged him to do so with this ostentatious comment: ‘I am never urged; there will be time tomorrow.’ I went to see him; he came out with all those cajoleries with which he seduced ambitious nobodies and important fools. He took me by the arm, leaning on me while speaking to me: familiarities of high favour, calculated to turn my head, which were absolutely lost on me; I did not even understand them.
In the midst of his sycophants Monsieur de Talleyrand was worse than ever. I made representation to him that at such a critical moment he could not think of going away.
--
Monsieur de Talleyrand, unable to convince himself that the King would set out, was asleep: at three they woke him to tell him that the King was leaving; he could not believe his ears: ‘Tricked! Betrayed!’ he cried. He got up, and there he was, for the first time in his life, in the street at three in the morning, leaning on Monsieur de Riccé’s arm. He arrived in front of the King’s residence: the two front horses of the team were already half-way through the carriage entrance. A wave of the hand to the coachman to stop; the King asked what was happening; someone called out: ‘Sire, it is Monsieur de Talleyrand. – He is asleep’, said Louis XVIII. – ‘Here he is, Sire. – Go on!’ the King replied. The horses and carriage backed up; the door was opened, the King descended, and returned dragging his feet to his apartment, followed by the limping Minister. There Monsieur de Talleyrand began an angry explanation. His Majesty listened and replied: ‘Prince de Benevento, are you leaving us? The waters will do you good: you can send us your news.’ The King left the Prince dumbfounded, had himself led back to his Berlin, and departed.
Monsieur de Talleyrand was foaming with anger. Louis XVIII’s sang-froid had unseated him: he, Monsieur de Talleyrand, who so often stung others with his calmness, had been beaten on his home ground, dumped in a square in Mons, like the most insignificant of men: he couldn’t get over it! He remained silent, watching the departing coach, then grasping the Duc de Lévis by his coat-button: ‘Go, Monsieur the Duke, go and tell them how I am treated! I have placed the crown on the King’s head once more (he always returned to that crown), and I am going to Germany to begin a fresh emigration.’
I found Monsieur de Talleyrand again, embarrassed; he regretted not having followed my advice, and like a muddle-headed sub-lieutenant having refused to go to the King that evening; he feared that agreements would be reached without him, that he would be unable to share political power and profit from the financial conniving which was planned. I told him that, though I disagreed with his views, I would remain no less loyal to him, as an ambassador should to his Minister; that in addition I had friends close to the King, and that I soon hoped to hear some good tidings. Monsieur de Talleyrand felt truly tender, he leant on my shoulder: certainly he thought me a very great man at that instant.
What devil possessed me? I had not followed the King who had, so to speak, offered me or rather granted me the Ministry of his Household and who was offended by my obstinacy in staying at Mons: I stuck out my neck for Monsieur de Talleyrand whom I scarcely knew, whom I did not esteem, whom I did not admire; for Monsieur de Talleyrand who would be involved in schemes that were by no means mine, who lived in an atmosphere of corruption in which I could scarcely breathe!

Helfert, Joachim Murat, chapter 1, part 3
Continuation of my attempt at translating an old Austrian book on Murat’s final years. Negotiations with Austria and Britain get interrupted because ... well, Napoleon called.
The King also established relations with England around this time and finally came to an agreement with Lord William Bentinck, who visited the island of Ponza from Sicily and repeatedly negotiated there with Murat's confidants, to the effect that if the King openly joined the alliance with all his might, he should be free to act in Italy; the only exception would be Sicily, where the English were protecting King Ferdinand IV. On the Appenine mainland, too, the English were to be present with armed force and allow for their forces to co-operate with the Neapolitan ones, albeit under their own command. Bentinck sent an aviso ship from Ponza to England to ask his cabinet for approval of what had been arranged with Joachim's confidants (June 1813).
The gulf between Napoleon and Murat widened. If the latter was already highly incensed by Cariati's mission, the secret meetings on the island of Ponza could not remain hidden from him for long, given the indiscretion of the London journals. The Paris Moniteur published ruthless articles, Baron Durand issued sharp notes to Gallo, which the king, for his part, did not allow to go unanswered; indeed, he threatened, if the Paris papers should again permit themselves to offend him, to have the French ambassador sent his passports. When at last Napoleon, now that the war was breaking out anew and was threatening to take on greater proportions, made the imposition on the King of Naples to send 20,000 men to Prince Eugène in Upper Italy, without any mention of himself, their rightful warlord, Murat became furious, tore the paper to shreds, which he trampled underfoot, and swore: "Not one company shall he get that is not under my command!"
Nevertheless, once more an understanding was reached between the two, for the Emperor, pressed on all sides, could not do without the military aid from Naples and the support of his old comrade in arms. Caroline received a letter from her brother in a cordial tone, Fouché and Ney, who were personally close to the King, had to exert a pacifying influence on him and he decided, no doubt also with the help of his wife, to rejoin the Grande Armée (August 1813). The Vienna negotiations had not reached a conclusion because Cariati did not have the necessary powers; no reply had yet been received from London to Bentinck's request. Murat, however, although he now faced both Austria and England as enemies in the theatre of war, did not want to treat the initiated negotiations as terminated, but left arrangements in Naples to keep the negotiations going in spite of his absence in the field.
On the Saxon battlefields, the brilliant cavalry general fought as boldly and bravely as ever. But disaster could not be averted; the battle of Leipzig completed the downfall of the once Grand Army. Murat saw his imperial brother-in-law once more before he hurried back to his kingdom: but he also saw Count Mier, who had been sent by Metternich to the imperial headquarters (October 1813). When he arrived back in his capital, his mind was set on two things: first, to turn away from Napoleon and towards the Allies, and secondly, to bring under his command the whole Appenine peninsula, at least as far as the Po, beyond which the Austrians were gaining a foothold.
But Bentinck now changed his tone; since the cause of the allies no longer seemed to be in need of the revolutionary king, he no longer wanted to have anything to do with Joachim. A diplomatic agent, Schinina, whom the king sent to Palermo in November, returned to his master in the second half of December not only without having achieved anything, but also laden with the imperious lord's rudeness. On the other hand, the Imperial and Royal General Count Adam Neipperg arrived in Naples from the great headquarters of the allies at the beginning of 1814 in order to conclude a defensive and protective alliance with the king. Neipperg did not enter into negotiations, he stated his conditions and demanded acceptance or rejection in the shortest possible time; Murat decided in favour of the former, because he could hardly do otherwise under the present circumstances, and on 11 January everything was signed. King Joachim wrote a letter to Emperor Franz in his own hand; Neipperg promised to obtain the entry of the other powers into the Austro-Neapolitan treaty.
A few days later, Joachim's troops moved across the Tronto and the Garigliano and occupied Ancona from one side, Rome from the other; the French generals Barbou there, Miollis here, withdrew into the citadels with their crews. The king left for the army on the 23rd and was on the south side of the Po by the beginning of February, from where he was now supposed to manoeuvre against the Viceroy shoulder to shoulder with the imperial field marshal Bellegarde, who was in Verona. But he was not entirely at ease. His French blood bristled at the idea of attacking his own compatriots and decades-long comrades-in-arms, sword in fist. Also, Emperor Francis' personal reply to his letter had not yet arrived, the treaty of 11 January had not yet been ratified, an accedence of the other powers, especially England, had not yet taken place. The Allies, on the other hand, first wanted to see proof of his sincere attitude, he was to show in the field that he was serious about taking up arms against France before they entered into a binding agreement with him.
In these critical times, his wife, who acted as regent in Naples during Joachim's absence, proved to be infinitely more determined than the king. As everyone must understand, it had cost her a hard struggle to break away from her imperial brother, to ally herself with his enemies and to turn the arms of her kingdom against France. But once the step had been taken, she remained true to her new role, because she realised that only undaunted, wholehearted devotion to the cause the banner of which had been seized could secure the lasting support of the allies for her house and throne. As much as she had previously been suspected of being partial to the French, she now showed herself to be on the opposite side. She seized for her kingdom the principalities of Benevento and Pontecorvo, which Napoleon had declared and treated as French imperial fiefs since the conquest of Naples by his guns; she ordered the seizure of all warships and merchant ships flying the French flag in Neapolitan ports; she expelled all French officers and agents from the borders of her country; she severed all communication between Naples and the Empire (February 1814).
Timeline: The Allies are already in France, Napoleon barely being able to hold them off (victory at Brienne followed by defeat at La Rothière, then a series of quick victories over Blücher who was always an ideal target ...). Caulaincourt is at the Congress of Chatillon, trying to adapt his negotiations to Napoleon’s orders (which change on a daily basis, depending on who won the last skirmish). In Upper Italy Eugène retreats to the Mincio, inflicting a defeat on Bellegarde’s Austrians on the 8th while doing so. February/March 1814 will also be the time when Napoleon and Eugène have their fallout over Eugène not leaving Italy with his troops and coming to Napoleon’s aid in France - and when distrust on both sides becomes so profound Eugène actually suspects Napoleon of wanting to take his pregnant wife hostage.

The setting is based loosely on historical/isekai manhwa that I read so I'm sorry if there are things that I don't know much about this era. I'm going to have a lot of OC for the romance but feel free to self-insert yourself!
I tried using the English names each member picked as much as possible but I can't really have nobles names Jelly (Younghoon), Jerry (Hyunjae), Joe (Sunwoo), and New... so I tried making their names as close as possible to the names they picked :D

Napoleon Makes a Court...Pt 1
He began at home, introducing statutes to given the imperial family, of which he was 'head and father'. They were modeled on similar documents governing the ancient royal houses of Europe, but included concepts pertaining to Corsican family lore together with a dash of military discipline. They laid down rules of precedence, guidelines on conduct, restrictions on marriage and travel, so that nothing could be done or undertaken without his consent. They included a table of penalties, incarceration and exile among them.
The Continent was to be bound together not by modern administration but by the Bonaparte dynasty and those established royal and ducal houses of Europe prepared to associate with it. Joseph was King of Naples, Louis King of Holland, Caroline's husband Murat Grand Duke of Berg, Elisa Bacciochi Duchess of Lucca and Piombino. Further layers of control were provided by those closest to the imperial throne, with Berthier becoming prince of Neuchatel (a former Prussian fief), Bernadotte prince of Pontecorvo, and Talleyrand prince of Benevento in the kingdom of Naples. Other fiefs, such as Dalmatia, Istria, Fruili, Cadora, Belluno, Conegliano, Treviso, Feltre, Bassano, Vicenza, Padua, and Rovigo in what had been Venetian territory went to ministers and marshals.
In France itself, by a senatus-consulte of 14 August 1806, Napoleon created an imperial nobility, granting titles of prince, duke, count, baron, and knight. The language accompanying these acts and investitures was redolent of another age; the costumes, forms of address, and fabulous endowments were an insult to the spirit of the Enlightenment and all that was dear to most Frenchmen about the Revolution. 'Dare I say it, when in a full council he poisted the question of whether the institution of hereditary titles was contrary to the principles of equality which we professed, almost all of us replied in the negative,' admitted the old revolutionary butcher of nobles Fouche. 'In fact, the Empire being a new monarchy, the creation of grand officers and dignitaries and the bulwark of a new nobility seemed indespensibe to us.' He became Duke of Otranto.

I have a list of ~900 albums from 2019 that I still want to eventually listen to / review [IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT ALERT]
For this project (already 125+ releases deep), which is just impossibly daunting and makes me head hurt. IDK how to streamline this process or is any “critic” out there really listening to “all” the good music? It’s impossible I guess... BUT needless to say, these have made this list from an even larger pool of music that I either listened to briefly and immediately dismissed or (gasp!) never even came across my radar (radar = many many music blogs I follow via RSS).
