Josephine, Empress and Great Love of Napoleon - Video

Josephine de Beauharnais was Napoleon's Empress, his muse and his great love. It is next to impossible to imagine him without her or her without him.

She survived the death sentence of insurgency and a bomb attack. Her weapons were her razor-sharp mind, her good taste and her body. Josephine de Beauharnais held the love of one of the Europe greatest Generals. Napoleon was the great destroyer of the old system of rule, the nefarious warrior whose campaigns resulted in the death of millions and devastation in various regions around Europe. As Emperor and legislator, he spearheaded an administrative reform that initiated a new order, and she was his strongest ally.
