I am very fond of Josephine, I think she hasd a quite interesting destiny,
She was born Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de la Pagerie in Les Trois-Îlets, Martinique on a slave plantation, the daughter of its owner Joseph-Gaspard de Tascher, chevalier, seigneur de la Pagerie, lieutenant of infantry of the navy, and Rose-Claire des Vergers de Sanois.African blood ran through the Tascher family. She married the viscount Alexandre de Beauharnais who was guillotined during the terror, she herself was condemned too, but was saved, from that maraige she had Eugene and Hortense.
As a widow, Joséphine de Beauharnais was mistress to several leading political figures, including Paul François Jean Nicolas Barras. She met General Napoléon Bonaparte, who was six years younger than she, in 1795, when their romance began
This was the beginning of the great love napoleon would have for her.
A fortune teller predicted that she wa going to wear a crown but would be unfortunate in love!!!
