Comment

Napoleon I, born August 15, 1769 in Ajaccio and died May 5, 1821 on St. Helena Island, was the first emperor of the French, from May 18, 1804 to April 6, 1814 and from March 20, 1815 to June 22, 1815. Second child of Charles Bonaparte and Letizia Ramolino, Napoleon Bonaparte was a military man, general in the armies of the First French Republic, born of the Revolution, commander-in-chief of the army of Italy and then of the army of the East. He came to power in 1799 with the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire, and was First Consul until August 2, 1802, then Consul for life until May 18, 1804, when he was proclaimed Emperor by a senatus-consult followed by a plebiscite. He was crowned emperor in the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris on December 2, 1804, by Pope Pius VII.
