Claim: Joachim Murat was not at the Battle of Schleiz, which took place northeast of Germany's now third most populous city, Dresden.
Evidence: Joachim Murat assumed command of the troops and began an aggressive pursuit. The Battle of Schleiz took place on October 9, 1806 in Schleiz, Germany between a Prussian-Saxon division under Bogislav Friedrich Emanuel von Tauentzien and a part of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte's I Corps under the command of Jean-Baptiste Drouet, Comte d'Erlon.
