“ Lannes’s sword became the visible symbol of his mission, noted by contemporary French, British and Portuguese observers alike. He wore his saber at all times, refusing to replace it with a smaller, decorative one for court appearances. Noticing immediately what sort of effect it had on the timid prince regent, for instance, Lannes seemed to take a perverse pleasure in dragging it through the halls of various Portuguese palaces and scaring Dom Joao into submission. According to Madame Junot, Dom Joao remembered that Lannes ‘used to carry a very large saber, which made a great deal of noise as he came up stairs.’ Obviously, the ‘great saber,’ with its ability to accelerate diplomatic business, left a ‘profound impression in the memory of the prince.”

According to André Lagarde’s Les Origines et La Famille du Marechal Lannes, Jean Lannes’ parents have 8 children:
Jeanne (1760)
Bernard (1762)
Jean (1764)
Bernard (1766)
Jean (1769)
Bernard(1771)
Jeanne(1774)
Marie(1777)
Perhaps this family have two godfathers, one named Jean and the other named Bernard, and they took turns to help baptise the children.
