Saint-Amans-Soult
' Saint-Amans-Soult' is a commune in the Tarn department in southern France.
The commune was formerly called Saint-Amans-la-Bastide. It was renamed in 1851, after Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult, who was born there in 1769. Marshal-General Soult, under the Emperor Napoleon, was later named as Duke of Dalmatia, and following the Emperor's permanent exile to St. Helena, enjoyed a long and fruitful career as a politician and diplomant under several early 19th royalist and republican regimes in France. His son, Napoleon H. de Soult, arranged for the posthumous publication of his father's "Memoires" after 1851.
