Berthier, Alexandre 1753-1815
Prince of Neuchâtel and Wagram and Marshal of the French Empire
Born at Versailles, he joined the army (1770) and fought with the Marquis de Lafayette in the American Revolution. In the French Revolution he rose to be Chief of Staff in the Army of Italy (1795), and in 1798 proclaimed the Republic in Rome. He became Chief of Staff to Napoleon I, on whose fall he had to surrender the principality of Neuchâtel, but was allowed to keep his rank as peer and marshal. He retired to Bamberg and, at the sight of a Russian division marching towards the French frontier, he fell from a window and died.
