RE: Generals of Napoleon (1) - DUROC - “The shadow of the Emperor”
An interesting man. It makes you wonder how Waterloo would have gone if Duroc had still been alive. What more can you tell us about him? Did he marry? Have children? How did his men feel about him? How did others (such as Wellington) rate him? Just curious.
I doubt that Wellington had any opinion about Duroc because they probably never crossed path. Wellington, as you know, was mainly involved in the Iberian peninsula, against the Marshall Soult and Massena. As for the descendancy, he had a son and a daughter. Interestingly, he gave to his son the name "Napoleon", evidence of his attachment to the Emperor. However, his son would die after one year, no more.
