"Never interrumpt your enemy when he’s making a mistake."

“Never interrumpt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.”

- I’ve read that this quote was said by Napoleon -of course- during the battle of Austerlitz when the austrians and russians took the high of the balley and that was what Napoleon wanted them to do.

I just wanted to say THANKS THANKS THANKS for this awesome blog -or whatever is this thing lol.- I'm happy not to being the only one madly in love with this great (and sexy -of course.-) man. I was starting to feel alone in this Napoleon's-heaters-world.

My friend linked me to this, an old episode of Doctor Who. If you watch it to around 9:20, there’s Napoleon! It’s wonderful to see two of my favorite things collide in one orgy of awesome.

Hell to the yes.

OH GOOD GOD THIS IS AMAZING HERE LET ME SHARE ONE OF MY FAVOURITE NAPOLEON PIXX FOR GREAT SEXY JUSTICE.

"That bitch Josephine"? Really?

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 23:35:13 -0400

Um.. have you read ANYTHING about Napoleon and Josephine’s relationship? If this site is dedicated to the memory of Napoleon, then perhaps it wouldn’t be too great of an idea to bag the crap out of the woman he loved.

Ever hear the last word that passed Napoleon’s lips? That’s right- ‘Josephine’. Ever read one of his love letters? Ever hear about how on the night he came to his decision he collapsed on the floor and uttered over and over again, “My poor Josephine, I shall never be able to leave you.”?

If this is dedicated to Napoleon as you claim then have a little more respect.

This wasn’t a question, so I’m jess editing it.

Hello!

I’ve read tons and tons about Napoleon and Josephine. Honestly, their relationship was beautiful, if not always smooth sailing. And yes, I know of his last words, I’ve read (and posted—read the blog) his love letters. His devotion to her was incredible. She was his everything. I know all this.

I’m not saying she was a terrible person either. She wasn’t!

But this blog is here not just to honor the memory of Napoleon, it’s also here for me (and others who love Napoleon as much as me) to have a laugh. Every time I refer to her as TBJ it’s what’s commonly known as a joke. It is humorous because it displays my supposedly fanatical love of Napoleon, to the point where I’m jealous of his wife.

If it bothers you so much, you don’t have to read the blog. So…thanks for the input, but relax.

Love, FYNB.

Hey, où es tu? Where are facts about the most amazing man in history, m?

Very idealistic and stylized portrait of young Napoleon. The author pointed out his nickname “eagle” a lot here.

The Bonapartes: Elisa

Sat, 26 Feb 2011 17:00:07 -0500

Elisa: The Smart Girl

I guess all the Bonapartes were attractive.

Elisa’s full name/title was Maria Anna Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi Levoy, Princesse Française, Duchess of Lucca and Princess of Piombino, Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Countess of Compignano. Which right away hints at what a badass she was.

The eldest of the Bonaparte girls, Elisa was intelligent and witty, and politically competent. She was the only sister Nappy trusted with any real power, and he gave her the territory of Lucca, which she administered mainly by herself, holding more power than her husband. She loved the arts and encouraged artistic ventures in all the territories she ruled over. She also encouraged education reform (made those damn kids go to school) and public works programs (get some public parks all up in this bitch).

In 1809 she became Grand Duchess of Tuscany, because she was one awesome bitch. However, her relations with her Emperor bro became strained as he called her out for not doing exactly what he told her to.

In 1813 the Neapolitans marched on her territories, and she lost her titles in both Tuscany and Lucca. She was eventually exiled, and died before Napoleon in 1820.

FUCK YEAH, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE!
