Marshal Joachim Murat, was unquestionably the most flamboyant of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's marshals. A skilled cavalry commander, but impetuous and hot headed, he had a habit of charging with suicidal bravery at problems, and yet miraculously coming off unscathed.
Was this well known, almost iconic figure, really that good a military commander? Why was his private life so tempestuous? And what was his impact on the history of the Napoleonic Wars?
Rachael Stark joins us to talk about the life and legacy of the most colourful Marshal.
