In March of 1804, French dragoons secretly crossed the Rhine into the German Margraviate of Baden. Acting on orders from Napoleon himself, they kidnapped Louis Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Enghien. After a hastily-convened court-martial on charges of bearing arms against France, the duke was shot. "C'est pire qu'un crime, c'est une faute," a French official (supposedly, but probably not, Talleyrand) said of the duke's execution: "It is worse than a crime, it is a mistake."
