MURAT (Joachim). L.S. "Joachim" to Marshal SOULT, and extract from the Grande Chancellerie de la Légion d'Honneur. Neuilly, July 20, 1806. 1 pp. folio and 1 pp. folio with simple letterhead from the Grande Chancellerie de la Légion d'Honneur. Request from the Grand Duke of Berg to exchange the 12th cohort, of which he is the holder, for the 4th; "My dear Marshal, you are no more destined than I am to ever inhabit the headquarters of your cohort. Your merit and the Emperor's benevolence will no doubt one day call you away from the department of Roêr. I therefore thought that you were no more attached to the 4th cohort than to any other, and I asked the Emperor to kindly allow me, with your approval, to change mine for yours. It is probable that I will make my residence in my states (...)." Attached is a copy of Murat's letter to the Grand Chancellor of the Légion d'Honneur concerning this exchange request: "(...) The Emperor has been good enough to consent to this arrangement. As I am about to leave to take up residence in my States, it would be a great pleasure for me to be close to the Cohort of which I would be the holder (...). I will write to Marshal Soult to propose this exchange (...). Made Marshal of the Empire in May 1804, Murat (1767-1815) had received the titles of Grand Admiral and Prince, Grand Eagle of the Legion of Honor, Head of the 12th Cohort in February 1805, Grand Dignitary of the Order of the Iron Crown, Grand Duke of Berg and Cleve in March 1806; he held this last title until July 1808, when Napoleon elevated him to the rank of King of Naples. The exchange does not appear to have taken place; for his brief stays in the principality, Murat took up residence in Benrath Castle and the Governor's Palace in Düsseldorf. Relying on the proclamation of the Confederation of the Rhine, the new Duke of Berg proclaimed his independence from the Holy Roman Empire in July 1806.
