Having overseen an empire spanning half the European continent and governed the lives of some eighty million people, he suddenly found himself exiled to Elba, less than 100 square miles of territory.

But soon enough Napoleon imposed his preternatural charisma and historic ambition on both his captors and the very island itself, plotting his return to France and to power.

Napoléon s'est séparé de Joséphine, qui ne pouvait lui donner d'enfant, en 1809. Il se met alors en quête d'une nouvelle épouse afin de s'assurer une descendance dynastique.

L'Empereur d'Autriche François II, qui espère pacifier par ce biais les relations avec la France, consent à lui céder sa fille Marie-Louise en mariage. Élevée dans la détestation de Napoléon, celle-ci se résigne à cette union purement politique pour servir les intérêts de son pays.
