Michel Ney (January 10 1769 - December 7 1815) called Le Rougeaud ("the ruddy") and le Brave des Braves ("the bravest of the brave") was a marshal of the French army who had fought in the French Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars.He was born at Saarlouis in Alsace, the son of a master barrel cooper, and he was an apprentice cooper until he joined the 5th Hussars in 1787.
An impulsive and courageous soldier, Ney is known for epitomizing the soldierly virtue of "leading from the front".
Ney was one of the first marshals created by Napoleon upon his rise to power.
He was created Duke of Elchingen on June 6, 1808 and Prince de la Moskova on March 25, 1813, and a peer of France.
When Paris fell and the Bourbons reclaimed the throne, Ney was promoted and lauded. When he was sent to arrest Napoleon however, he was convinced by Napoleon to switch sides once again.
When Napoleon was defeated for the second time, Ney was executed by firing squad, in Paris near the Luxembourg Gardens, refusing the blindfold, and being allowed the right to give the order to fire.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The ney (also nai, nye, nay) is a wind instrument that figures prominently in Middle Eastern music--in some of these musical traditions, it is the only wind instrument used. It is a very ancient instrument, with depictions of ney players appearing in wall paintings in the Egyptian pyramids and actual neys being found in the excavations at Ur. This indicates that the ney has been played continuously for 4,500-5,000 year, making it one of the oldest musical instruments still in use. It is a forerunner of the modern flute.The ney consists of a piece of hollow cane or reed (ney is an old Persian word for reed) with five or six finger holes. More modern neys may be made of metal. Pitch differs, depending on the region and the finger arrangement. A highly skilled ney player can reach as many as three octaves, though it is more common to have several ney players in a traditional orchestra to cover different ranges.
