I plan on taking on the Capetian Marshals of France when I go back to college in October, if no-one has done anything about them before. Supersheep 16:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This might be better renamed as a list.--Looper5920 23:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why was de Gaulle never made a marshal? Bastie 17:20, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to some he was offered the rank in 1946, but refused it. The reason may be that he considered himself as a statesman and not a soldier at that time, but that is only a personal speculation from my side. Carl Logan 18:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Latin Check

Not sure if I overlooked some obscure function of the genitive case, but in 'Terror belli, decus pacis', belli and pacis look like ordinary genitives of bellum and pax respectively. I see no reason why this should not be translated to 'Terror of war, ornament of peace', but maybe I am wrong. Rajakhr (talk) 04:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do believe it's more a bad translation from the french translation of latin. in a correct english, it would be "Terror during war, honnor during peace" because the mean is the marshal inspires terror into war time and honnor (or respect) into peace time. Hope it could be helpful. 86.206.111.109 (talk) 13:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Condé?

The Great Condé was never a Marshal of France? john k (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As he was too disruptive (Fronde) and he betrayed France to Spain from September 1652 to November 1659 (he fought and lost against France and especially Marshal de Turenne at the battle of the dunes), he would have been a bad example as Marshal of France. But it's true he was skilled. 86.206.111.109 (talk) 12:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
