NEW EPISODE: If you read 19th Century French novelists, you'll find a dizzying array of currencies — francs and écus, sous and louis d'or. Let me break down what all these coins are, how much they're worth, and how Charlemagne ties everything together: thesiecle.com/supplemental20/
April 24 1798 - I see every day more and more that after ten years of war, and the defeat of all the despots of Europe united, the French revolution is but yet begun; the Hercules is yet in swaddling bands.
On this day in 1815, Serbian rebels rose up in response to their country's annexation by the Ottoman Empire. They would struggle for two years, but eventually succeeded in preserving their autonomy, although Serbia would remain under Ottoman sovereignty for half a century.
I just released our latest patrons-only bonus episode, including topics like the Mamelukes of the Imperial Guard, and a few of my favorite unanswered questions from my research. You can get access to all 22 bonus episodes for as little as $2/month patreon.com/posts/dispatch…

232 years ago today, revolutionary France declared war on the Habsburg monarchy after months of mutual saber-rattling: the War of the First Coalition had begun. The fighting would soon touch almost the entire continent, plus European colonies overseas.
Flintlock rifle of the Manufacture of Versailles, designed by the famous gunsmith Nicolas-Noël Boutet, given to Director Lazare Carnot. His initials (LC) are engraved, in a similar fashion as for the models made for other Directors of the First French Republic.
Here’s my painting based on a shot from the 1965 black and white Polish film Popioły (The Ashes).
On this day in 1809, the Austrians attacked a mostly Polish, pro-French army under Marshal Poniatowski near the town of Raszyn in Masovia. The Poles resisted tenaciously, but were outnumbered and outflanked. Habsburg forces were triumphant, enabling them to march on Warsaw.
Of course, there's a long history of talented men declaring that they could have been a better Napoleon.

I have a little mid-month surprise bonus content for you: Will Clark from Grey Histories and I did a collaborative episode on the outbreak of civil war in France in 1793. I had fun recording it and I think you guys will enjoy it too: podtrac.com/pts/redirect.m…
On this day in 1809, a British fleet attacked the French at the Battle of the Basque Roads. The British ultimately won, but the battle was controversial: the British commanders argued about the result in parliament & the press, and a French captain was executed for cowardice.

New episode! In the Spring of 1808, Napoleon installed his brother Joseph on the Spanish throne. However, the people of Madrid had had enough of the French, and took matters into their own hands... podtrac.com/pts/redirect.m…
Episode 112 is now available ad-free to Patreon subscribers. The free version will be out shortly. patreon.com/posts/episode-…
@AgeofNapoleon The British tried to enter Portuguese Macao in 1802 to prevent France from taking it and had problems with the Qing authorities.
210 years ago today, the armies of the Sixth Coalition attacked Paris. The city had only around 40,000 defenders, compared to over 100,000 Allied attackers. The end was near.

Paul Barras on Massena: "Brave, daring but stupid, a thief and hypocrite, like an Italian"
230 years ago today, the revolutionary pamphleteer and publisher Jacques Hébert was guillotined, aged just 36. He was most famous for his newspaper Le Père Duchesne, which appealed primarily to the poor. He has been called "the Homer of filth" for his skill with vulgar language.

Another @GallicaBnF treasure. A French map of the Pacific Ocean made on the year VI of the Republic (c. 1798) with the exisitng knowledge of this then quite unknown part of the world. French names of now famous places are quite something else: To explore: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv…
@AgeofNapoleon We've all rolled ourselves up in the attic now and then, life isn't easy you know!
One of the few paintings of mine that I did on a wood panel. Officer of the 12th Hussars, France. 🇫🇷
Re-enacting Memory: Back to Waterloo, 2015. I love this photo by Kevin Wolf. I use as the wallpaper on my computer. He is inside the "Hougoumont" structure as we defend against a French attack. This was the second night of the reenactment.
@IwriteOK Literally just finished listening to an ep of @AgeofNapoleon describing how he was so successful BECAUSE he had the biggest bureaucrat nerd in charge of the military.
I recently had the privilege of guiding a father & his 13 year old son, Callum, around the Waterloo campaign battlefields. Callum has written a blog of his experiences, sharing the understanding he gained on tour. It’d make his day if you went & read it: battlefieldhistory.co.uk/waterloo-april…
@AgeofNapoleon great stuff! And thrilling to get to imagine being there.
listening to a fascinating @AgeofNapoleon episode about art during the age of napoleon, including a neat description of what it would have been like to go to the louvre in its early days. you don’t need to know much about napoleon. Ep 106 or linked here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
@AgeofNapoleon @tybuddhaboy I have been looking for this quote ever since I first read it thank you!!
@timhwang @AgeofNapoleon “The Sausage Maker theory of history”
20 April 1797: Moreau (40,000 men) crossed the Rhine at 6:00 a.m., Diersheim. Vandamme & Davout both led parties across the river in boats and secured Diersheim, only to be thrown out by Sztáray's Austrians (24,000 men). The village changed hands twice more during the day.🎲🎲
@AgeofNapoleon @Caseshotpublish That makes sense! I thought it was a person’s name, but not familiar with Roland. So many names to remember from that period.
@Caseshotpublish @AgeofNapoleon is there a reason they’re still using the royal coat of arms at the top? Trying to work their way through the “declaration of war” forms left over from the ancien régime?
@Caseshotpublish @AgeofNapoleon Love how the German half is written in Fraktur. Really nice typography all around, really. What is “et plus bas Roland”?
