Marshal General of France , originally "Marshal General of the King's camps and armies" (French : maréchal général des camps et armées du roi ), was a title given to signify that the recipient had authority over all of the French armies, in the days when a Marshal of France usually governed only one army.
This title was bestowed only on Marshals of France, usually when the title of Constable of France was unavailable or, after 1626, suppressed. Unlike the title of marshal, marshal general was rarely granted to active military commanders. Rather, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was an end-of-career reward for particularly deserving or loyal marshals.
List of titleholders [ edit ]
There have only been six holders of this title in the history of France :
Six in the pre-revolutionary kingdom of France :
Charles de Gontaut, duc de Biron (1562–1602):
Admiral of France , 1592
Admiral and Marshal, 26 January 1594
unclear when promoted to Marshal General

Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne (1611–1675):
Marshal, 16 November 1643
Marshal General, 4 April 1660
Claude-Louis-Hector de Villars (1653–1734):
Marshal, 20 October 1702
Marshal General, 18 October 1733
Maurice, comte de Saxe (1696–1750):

Marshal General, 12 January 1747
Victor François de Broglie, 2nd Duke of Broglie (1718–1804):
Marshal, 1759
Marshal General, 1789
Broglie emigrated the same day the king signed the title papers. He therefore never exercised the functions of marshal general and was removed from the list of marshals of France in 1792.[1]
One during the July Monarchy under the House of Orléans ' sole, constitutional king, Louis Philippe :
