After this See also:battle he was made See also:grand officer of the See also:Legion of See also:Honour, was created Count d'Erlon and received a See also:pension. For the next six years d'Erlon was almost continuously engaged as See also:commander of an army See also:corps in the See also:Peninsular See also:War, in which he added greatly to his reputation as a capable general.

The See also:emperor made him a peer of France, and gave him command of the I. army corps, which formed part of the Army of the See also:North. In the See also:Waterloo campaign d'Erlon's corps formed part of See also:Ney's command on the 16th of See also:June, but, in consequence of an extraordinary See also:series of misunderstandings, took part neither at Ligny nor at Quatre See also:Bras (see WATERLOO CAMPAIGN). He was not, however, held to See also:account by Napoleon, and as the latter's practice in such matters was severe to the See also:verge of injustice, it may be presumed that the failure was not due to d'Erlon.
He was in command of the right wing of the See also:French army throughout the See also:great battle of the 18th of June, and fought in the closing operations around See also:Paris.
