Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anecdotes of Napoleon Bonaparte, His Ministers, His Generals, His Soldiers, and His Times: His Disinterment at St. Helena, and His Second Interment in France When the Corsicans took up arms in 1767, to resist the subjugation of their country to the yoke of France, Carolo Buonaparte, the father of Napoleon, quitted the gown for the sword; and under the standard of the patriot General Paoli, who was godfather to his eldest son Joseph, fought bravely, though unsuccesfully, for the liberties of his country. While the struggle continued, Madame Buonaparte, the wife of Carolo, was constantly flying from town to town, and from village to village, to avoid the French, dreading nothing so much as falling into their hands. After repeated changes of place, during the whole time of her pregnancy, she was, on the 15th of August, 1769, two months after the Corsicans had given up the contest, delivered of her second son, to whom the name of Napoleon was given.
