Napoleon Ier,le Grand Empereur

[Lucien]

Wonderful and interesting site about Josephine. Thanks!!! I never saw that before!
And the jewels are very beautiful as well. Who do they belong to in these days? To the swedish royal family? They really look phatastic!

Some of the jewellery is in the Louvre,the rest was "seized" by Dmitry.........

Maybe I am stupid, but I haven´t really understood, what was seized by Dmitry???

And the picture is phantastic, never seen before. But what means the scene??

Nah,you're far from stupid Britt,just absent minded..... ,was just joking about dear Dmitry and his deeprooted love for our Empereur

The scene probably depicts Napoléon granting an allowance to a war widow,watched by Joséphine and Hortense.

I do not love Napoleon Bonaparte and everything, that concerns the French revolution.
Most of all it is very a pity to me unfortunate French king, its Austrian wife and their innocent kid who has died for famine and mockeries in 1795. I shall reveal to you secret. Is that prediction, that Russian tsar will be necessarily restored in Russia, thus Russian Tsar will be granted to Russian people by the Lord the God. Thus Russian tsar it will be obligatory the relative of Nikolas II (on a female line).

Thank you for your humour and sharing your secret Dmitry,I promise I won't tell anyone......

The Russians however have their own thread so I won't go on that any further here,although...through the female line,if ever?Somehow she always reminds me of the "Sound of Music" song....What shall we do with Maria....?Nada.

What always repeating the same? Your personal opinion does not change anything about historical facts.

Especially dedicated to Dmitry :


N. Bonaparte in his wedding dress (for the marriage with Archduchess Marie Louise)





Bonaparte in civil clothes (never saw a picture of him in civil cloth before)

St. Helena?

The Emperors sword.

Interesting is that they say that it belonged to eight napoleonic heirs...I still wonder, who were/are them and who decided to sell the famous sword, as I said on the other thread....

Thanks for making the link to that article, Lucien.


Ps. I hope Dmitry is already going to save money like a scot, to buy it

Hi, and thank you for the links. The second one I cannot open with my PC, but I don't know if this is only my problem.

I recently made the expecience that those organisations can be very helpful, because one of them sent me very interesting material about an emperor's descendant (see other thread) and they were very kind, more than many historians here in Germany, who don't like sharing their informations.

My favourite site about napoleonic times, wars and uniforms, it also contains a discussion forum about the topic, is on the site napoleon-online, but this is in German.

Great sites, also the foundation site, but the APN (Amis du Patrimoine Napoleonien) was more helpful to me

I found on a site some interestintg caricatures of the emperor, I'll sent some of them later.

It's a little over two months now,a french wait,bien sur,but where are the caricatures dear Britt?
Might arrive just in time,our cuckoo fell out of it's nest,again,.....and I told you too have an extra eye
on him when the leaves wouls start to fall,alas......

[britt.25]

I must confess, that I don't remember it at the moment. Some time ago I lost all my stuff on m PC, because it was completely broken, and so I also lost many Bonaparte pictures, and with the time I try to fill my archives again, and when I remember the site, I will post it.

If you find something interesting about NI , please post it to let the topic survive. Dearest Dmitry seems to be gone at the moment....


PS. I was too much concerned with the latin "cousin" of Geli Raubal as well
