Napoleon I and Josephine love story reminds me a lot of Augustus, the first Roman emperor and his wife Livia. Except that Livia made sure her son from the first marriage became the successor and she outlived the emperor. Had Empress Josephine been more like the TV version of Livia below, history in the 19th century would have been very different!

The Civil Ceremony took place at the Hôtel de Mondragon which was confiscated from the General treasurer of the Royal Bank of France in 1790.

Napoleon was some twenty years older than Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria.
During her childhood he had been represented as an ogre, ein Menschenfresser.

Article by Antonio Manuel Moral Roncal:
The pride of the new Emperor: this was the coronation of Napoleon
Napoleon refused to receive communion because he was not willing to go to confession, before which Josephine did not do so as not to publicly indispose her husband.
