Summary
[edit]DescriptionMarengo - National Army museum 4.jpg |
English: The skeleton of Marengo, Napoleon's favourite horse at the National Army Museum in London, England. Marengo was a grey Arab stallion 14 hands high, obtained by Napoleon after the Battle of Aboukir in 1799. One of at least seven horses acquired by the Emperor during his Egyptian and Syrian campaigns, Marengo was the most celebrated. Named after a French victory over the Austrians in 1800, Marengo was ridden by Napoleon in several later campaigns including Waterloo. Marengo was captured at the end of the Battle of Waterloo and put on public display in London. It was later sold to Lieutenant-General J.J.W.Angerstein, a noted horse breeder, who put it to stud near Newmarket. When Marengo died in 1832, its skeleton was articulated by Surgeon Wilmat of the London Hospital and presented to the Royal United Services Museum. The missing hoowes were made into snuff boxes; the skin, put aside for a taxidermist to stuff, was lost.
