Life
Fabvier joined the French army as an officer in 1804 from the École polytechnique . He was sent to Turkey by Napoleon I in 1807 to fortify Constantinople against attacks by the British . Fabvier then accompanied General Gardanne to Persia .
After his return in 1809, Fabvier joined the imperial guard as captain and accompanied Marmont (Duke of Ragusa) to Spain in 1811 as his adjutant . In 1812 he took part in the battle for Moscow and became a colonel in the general staff during the campaign in Saxony in 1813 . After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , Fabvier was made chief of staff for the remaining remaining troops in the eleven army corps . In the campaign of 1814 on March 9, he was able to save the already defeated Marmont from destruction through his courageous intervention.
During Napoleon's return, the reign of the Hundred Days , Fabvier headed a patrol corps in Lorraine, which is why he was decommissioned after the Restoration . But as early as 1817 he was reappointed Chief of Staff under Marmont in order to suppress the unrest at Lyon caused by the ultra-royalists . To clarify the incidents in this context, Fabvier published the text " Lyon en 1817 " (2 parts Paris 1818).
In 1823 Fabvier offered his help to the Greeks and earned great merit by disciplining the Greek army , but took his leave in the summer of 1828 as a result of the mistrust and jealousy of the Greek superiors who accused him of surrendering the Acropolis of Athens in 1827 returned to France. From there he accompanied the Morea expedition in November , played a major role in the July Revolution and was then appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Paris National Guard. In 1831 he resigned from this office.
In 1848 Favier was again sent to Constantinople as envoy, but was elected to the legislature in 1849 , where he adhered to the conservatives. In the same year he entered Danish service for a short time and helped in the war against Schleswig-Holstein .
Charles Nicolas Baron Fabvier died on September 15, 1855 in Paris. The castle, built by Fabvier on the isthmus of Methana in 1826 , is named after him Kastel Favieros .
