Was there ever, in the history of warfare, as brave, daring and charismatic a leader who looked quite such a ponce as Joachim Murat?

Looks great!

Plynkes

straight answer matey NO!!

he was seen in Russia next to a westphalian horse
battery ...the officer in charge was speaking to Murat
explaining in poor French how his roundshot were
landing but he struggled to concentrate as his head
was the same level as Murats bright pink skintight
trousers .crown jewels to close to hand  :owith a velvet
skyblue jacket set with diamonds and grass green gloves
and oversized thirty years war turned down deerskin boots
impervious to the incoming shot...said the memory stayed  with him forever as Murat tried he thinks to get himself killed..who knows great
story...............

Slightly off on a tangent but I seem to recall that the actor who played Odo in Deep Space 9 (Rene Auberjonois) is directly related to Murat and Napoleon's sister. In fact I think Murat is his great, great, great grandfather.
