According to wikipedia, Napoleon had an affair with Madame de Vaudey. So far every source I read has different explanations of the affair, and it's driving me crazy. Do you have any information?
Never heard of her and I would like to know about it.
#yes!! omg my thoughts exactly#I feel soooo bad for her#she was hurt so much by the situation it makes me cry :((((

I don't understand how people go to Père Lachaise and not even look at their grave... No need to know them, just admire their tomb, which is just magnificent.







Well ok Murat's is a bit disappointing... But the others... They are BEAUTIFUL!
Just need to wash them a bit and it's just perfect

How did my history teacher look at me when I told her that I liked the Napoleonic era...

I always get that sentence: “Oh, but he was a tyrant, he killed people.” oh no way! I didn't know that!
(It's humor... But it's true)

The Napoleonic fandom is a group of losers and failures who glorify the most mediocre figures like Junot, Marmont, and Bernadotte. I think they identify with them.
I can't believe there are more Junot posts than Murat posts.
So I bid farewell to this horrible community, full of people who think they own the truth.
ok buddy

Muiron P.S.
Napoleon still remembered the companion who had sacrficed himself to save his life and made the last codicil in his will the bequest of "one hundred thousand francs to the widow, son, or grandson of my ADC Muiron, with me at Arcole and killed whilst covering me with his body."

There is no worse enmity than between Napoleon and Josephine’s pug (Fortuné), who not only did not allow Bonaparte into the house, but also bit him on the leg.
