Junot's facial injury and Napoleon's insults regarding it, as narrated by Junot's son

'It is known that my father was riddled with wounds. One of those which was, without question, the cause of the fatal illness in consequence of which he succumbed, was the bullet which he received above the nose, at the lines of Torres Vedras. To extract the bullet, it was necessary to open the cheek above the maxillary bone; this scar, together with that of the wound itself, had greatly disturbed the harmony of the lines of his face.*

The Emperor, who had been displeased with the fine convention of Cintra only because it was a capitulation, and the word tickled him unpleasantly, manifested to my father a marked ill-humour. At the circle, one day, he said aloud to him: "My God, Junot, how ugly this wound has made you!"

My father made no answer the first time; but, when he returned home, he wept bitterly over these harsh words spoken by him whom he loved so much! He didn't even tell my mother about it.

To the next circle, the same compliment from the Emperor, and as one may imagine, even more acute grief on the part of my poor father. This time only did he not have the strength to keep her to himself, and he poured out his sorrow in my mother's bosom. She was indignant, at this injustice on the part of the Emperor, and she advised my father with all her strength to answer something if the attack was renewed. This was not lacking; for the third time my father was greeted with an exclamation at his ugliness occasioned by the wound of which I have spoken. "I am sorry that I am not of the same opinion as the Emperor," said my father respectfully; "but I had thought that this wound must have beautified me, since I had had the happiness of receiving it in your Majesty's service." Napoleon made a little grimace and moved on to another, who probably paid for the damage.'

I think of that pic of Colin Farrell in costume as Alexander the Great lying on the ground covered in blood with an arrow protruding from his chest and smoking a cigarette all the time.

This is about Napoleon’s wife, Josephine, and Nakşidil Sultan, a contemporary valide sultan of the Ottoman Empire who, according to legend (it’s hard to substantiate a lot of the backgrounds of valide sultans) was a French slave in the harem who rose to be queen mother

Which sounds like a cool novel idea, to have a parallel lives thing

But like. I’m leery because if you didn’t know, Brandy Purdy rather infamously had Henry VIII’s fourth and fifth wives, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard, have sloppy sex with each other in a bathtub. For no reason. It wasn’t relevant to the plot or anything, and I know, God forbid women do anything, but it wasn’t relevant and just so wild

So I sort of wonder if Josephine and Nakşidil Sultan are gonna go at it? I mean, it’s a step up for both of them, I agree, but like
