Jacky Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 What you call the "order of the eagle"is in fact the "order of the Iron Crown"which later became an Austrian-Hungarian Decoration.Kind regards,Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimZ Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 ..........The hat was returned to 1957 by the Soviet Union, the medals are still in the national historical museum, Moscow......Returned by the Russians...... to whom.... the French by any chance huh?? I do not see the French ever returning any of the Louvre trophies... would be jolly nice if they did although I guess.... there would be nothing much left to see then!

Ramblinfarms Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Quite interesting. Anyone know what other awards were awarded to Napoleon? I do know that he awarded Alexander I the Legion of Honor. Did Alexander award any Russian medals to Napoleon at Tilset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
