When Michel Ney was tried for treason (after supporting Napoleon's and subsequent second abdication), his lawyer wanted to argue that since he was born on Prussian soil, his hometown recently being annexed by Prussia, he as a Prussian could not be tried for French treason. Ney himself rejected this, saying that he was French and would always be French. He was sentenced to death. |
