Crown Prince Sebastian Johan of Ponte Corvo
Also, since Davout is the best Marshal, and the rivalry between Davout and Bernadotte is well known, I thought I might give some background on Davout and Bernadotte's relationship before and after Auerstadt.
1) Bernadotte and Davout were not on friendly terms before the battle since about 1802. At the time Napoleon had made Davout head of the military police, and as a consequence Davout had the unhappy task of monitoring the activities of his generals. It was at this time that Davout's subordinates sought to tie Bernadotte to the Donnadieu Conspiracy which sought to assassinate First Consul Napoleon. Davout moved by suspicion, and some dubious evidence, and if Fouche is to be believed, some resentment, had Bernadotte's house watched, and even had his mail opened. As it turns out, Bernadotte was not involved in the Donnadieu affair, nor the subsequent Plot of the Placards. When Bernadotte found out his personal letters to his wife had been opened, he threatened to horsewhip Davout, and challenged him to a duel. Bernadotte probably reacted too harshly. Napoleon managed to calm both parties down and by 1804 the two men were cooly civil to one another. Davout even attended a ball in Hannover, given by Bernadotte who was then governor there, and, according to the accounts of the ladies of high society, Davout surprised many as, despite his shabby appearance, he demonstrated extreme grace on the dance floor. Where he danced the night away until the wee hours of the morning.
2) In 1812 Napoleon decided to occupy Swedish Pomerania to secure his northern flank as a prelude to the invasion of Russia. Bernadotte had been Crown Prince of Sweden since 1810. Davout still nursed a substantial grudge against Bernadotte for what he openly perceived as having been abandoned at Auerstadt in 1806. That aside, as it is a whole post in itself, Napoleon gave Davout a chance to avenge himself on the hated Gascon. Napoleon put Davout in command of the operation to occupy Swedish Pomerania, to confiscate all property and to capture and imprison the garrison. Davout set the day for the attack on Bernadotte's birthday and proceeded to occupy the territory with his customary efficiency. So in some measure he got his revenge. However, the Occupation of Swedish territory had a cascading effect that later led to Napoleon's downfall.
3) Davout later had another opportunity to come to blows with Bernadotte. In 1813 Swedish troops reoccupied Swedish Pomerania as a member of the Coalition. Bernadotte later landed with a strong corps of 30,000 Swedes, and later joined by 30,000 Russians, 40,000 Prussians and 15,000 from North Germany, and was put in command of the Allied Army of the North. Contrary to Bernadotte's orders, a Swedish regiment took the initiative to occupy Hamburg, which had been abandoned by the French. Unfortunately for the Swedes, Hamburg was too far away from Allied lines to hold without a major effort (hence why Bernadotte did not want it occupied). Davout, with his corps of 35,000 moved in and chased the Swedes out of Hamburg and proceeded to occupy it until after Napoleon's abdication. Davout later moved to engage Bernadotte's army, and was advancing on Berlin, as part of a coordinated effort to capture the Prussian capital, when Bernadotte defeated Oudinot at GrossBeeran and the French retreated all the way back over the Elbe. Davout only had 30,000 troops with him and was forced to retreat in the face of 100,000 Swedish, Prussian and Russian troops. Davout was to make another effort to link-up with Ney's 60,000 troops to capture Berlin, but Ney's catastrophic defeat at Dennewitz at the hands of Bernadotte forced him to retreat again. Davout remained in Hamburg for the remainder of the War.
4) During the Siege of Hamburg during the winter and spring of 1814, Bernadotte commanded the Army blockading the city and he offered very generous terms to Davout: All French troops would be allowed to march back to France, with their weapons and baggage. They would not have to be put on parole and could rejoin the fight as soon as the returned to French lines. Davout declined to accept the terms and remained in Hamburg where he very competently repulsed an attempt by Bennigsen to take the city in December 1813. Davout launched a couple raids, but for the most part he and his troops, who were greatly needed in France, were left to their own devices.

Full Ranking List of Napoleon's Marshals
1. Marshal Davout "Iron Marshal" - "Davout was one of the purest glories of France."
2. Marshal Lannes "Roland of the Grande Armee" - "He had truly become a superior being by the time he perished. I found him a pygmy but I lost a giant."
3. Marshal Berthier "Napoleon's Wife" - "No one else can replace him."
4. Marshal Soult "Iron Arm" - "I should have made a great example and had Soult shot. He was the greatest pillager of them all."
5. Marshal Ney "Bravest of the Brave" - "Ney was priceless for his valour, his obstinancy in retreats. He was good for leading 10,000 men. Otherwise he was a true idiot."
6. Marshal Suchet "Fox of Spain" - "If I'd had two Marshals like Suchet I would have not only conquered Spain but kept it."
7. Marshal Massena "Child of Victory" - "He came alive when surrounded by danger... When defeated, he was always ready to begin again as if he was in fact the victor."
8. Marshal Macdonald "His Outspokenness" - "Good and brave, but unlucky."
9. Marshal Bessieres - "If I had Bessieres with me at Waterloo, my Guard would have brought me victory."
10. Marshal Murat "The Dandy King" - "I cannot conceive how so brave a man could be so unreliable. He was only brave when fighting the enemy... in the council he was a fool with no judgement."
11. Marshal Victor - "Victor was better than one might suppose."
12. Marshal Oudinot - "A decent fellow, but not very bright."
13. Marshal Saint-Cyr - "He is the best man in defense among us in the line of defense, though I am superior to him in attack."
14. Marshal Marmont - "I was betrayed by Marmont, whom I could call my son, my child, my creation..... Vanity was his undoing."
15. Marshal Mortier - "The three of my best generals were Davout, Soult, and Bessieres. Mortier was the most feeble."
16. Marshal Lefebvre - "A truly brave man, who does not concern himself with the maneuvers on his left and right, but thinks only of fighting well, and is not afraid die."
17. Marshal Augereau - "His courage, his outstanding virtues elevated him far above the crowd. But honours, titles and money plunged him back to it."
18. Marshal Bernadotte - "I can only say Bernadotte let me down... I can accuse him of ingratitude, but not of treason."
19. Marshal Jourdan - "I certainly used this man very ill... Jourdan was a true patriot, and that is to answer to many things that have been said about him."
20. Marshal Poniatowski - "A man of noble character, brimming over with honour and bravery."
21. Marshal Moncey - "He was an honest man."
22. Marshal Grouchy - "His conduct was as unfortunate as if his army, on the march, had been struck by an earthquake and swallowed up."
23. Marshal Kellermann - "I think that I was probably the boldest general who ever lived, but even I wouldn't have dared to take post there."
24. Marshal Serurier - "He retained all the characteristics and severity of an infantry major - an honest man, with integrity and reliability, but unfortunate as a general"
25. Marshal Brune - "He was justly proclaimed the saviour of the Batavian Republic... By saving Holland he also saved France from invasion"
26. Marshal Perignon
