Military unit
The XI Corps of the Grande Armée was a French military unit that existed during the
Napoleonic Wars . In 1812, the corps was formed for the invasion of Russia and placed under
Marshal
Pierre Augereau . It did not fight in any battles and instead served a collection point for reserves. In spring 1813, it was reorganized and placed under the command of Marshal
Jacques MacDonald . The corps fought at
Lützen ,
Bautzen ,
the Katzbach ,
Leipzig , and
Hanau in 1813. Still under MacDonald, the unit fought at
