Whoops...Your quote WAS from Murat, but, he wasn’t executed by the Bourbons, it was the Neapolitan King that had him killed.
Ney has a similar line, but, nothing about his face.
I beg pardon.

there is evidence that the brain still functins for several minutes after decapatation.
But no reports of what its thinking about.......It certainly isn't pain since all nerve endings have been severed.

As far as I can see from your link to wikipedia, what I said is consistent with it — Murat’s last words, and he was killed by the Bourbons (a branch that ruled Naples).

After the bloomer on my part, I wouldn’t argue.
Thanks for the kindness.
