Guyot was good friends with Generals Daumesnil and Drouot.
Guyot assumed unofficial command of the 2nd Chasseurs à Cheval after Lefebvre-Desnouettes' capture by the British, but Napoleon proclaimed that the command of that regiment would be vacant until Lefebvre-Desnouettes' return, and so Guyot never received the official title.
