When the Bourbons executed Napoleon's field marshal Joachim Murat, Murat was allowed to give the order to fire:

"Soldiers! Do your duty! Straight to the heart but spare the face. Fire!"

Murat was so unbelievably vain. He just could not get over how pretty he was.

Not Murat, but Ney. The legend is that all the men missed, he was spirited away by the Duke of Wellington (who had tried to save him from the execution all together) and went to live in North Carolina.
