Wikipedia description:

General Dominique-Joseph René Vandamme, Count of Unseburg (French pronunciation: [dɔminik ʒozɛf ʁəne vɑ̃dam]; 5 November 1770, in Cassel, Nord – 15 July 1830) was a French military officer, who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. He was a dedicated career soldier with a reputation as an excellent division and corps commander. However, he had a nasty disposition that alienated his colleagues, and would publicly criticize Napoleon, who never appointed him marshal.
