- Napoleon was exiled on the island of St Helena in October 1815 after the Battle of Waterloo. This is a quick tour of some of the sites associated with him, as they were and as photographed in April 2015.The video was created using Serif MoviePlus.
Ah fate, born on an island- died on an island
I was about to write exactly that. so true.
Napoleon was insatiable for many lands, the whole Earth in fact.
Happened upon this video early today and watched it while having morning coffee. It intrigued me and put me in a good and pensive mood for the rest of the day. Very appreciated.
👍🏻
👍
Lovely film, only wish it were longer...the sounds of the birds and insects was very peaceful.
Super video - just the right length and no wasted frames. Thank you

What a fine video, showing St. Helena's natural beauty. Amazing! Thanks. Since I collected British Empire postage stamps as a teenager, I have wanted to visit St.-Helena. Now it's accessible by air. There are several videos on You Tube of air travel to St. Helena, of which at least one tempts the dare-devil traveller.
Excellent footage ! You capture the atmosphere of the place.
Thank so much for this amazing video!!!
The British Territory of Saint Helena is a very beautiful country.
Great work.... loved it.
very good documentary and nice music.
superb efforts thank you so much
Just the video i was looking 4
Amazing film thank you for creating this
Was Great! Thankyou so much, from GreenBay, Wisconsin U-S-A.
Beautiful.
This is how civilised countries should deal with their adversaries after winning a war. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Whatever went wrong thereafter?
Exactly
] The Timespublished articles insinuating the British government was trying to hasten his death. Napoleon often complained of the living conditions in letters to the governor and his custodian, Hudson Lowe,[191] while his attendants complained of "colds, catarrhs, damp floors and poor provisions."[192] It has been speculated by modern scientists that his later illness arose from arsenic poisoning caused by copper arsenite in the wallpaper at Longwood House.[193]
With a small cadre of followers, Napoleon dictated his memoirs and grumbled about conditions. Lowe cut Napoleon's expenditure, ruled that no gifts were allowed if they mentioned his imperial status, and made his supporters sign a guarantee they would stay with the prisoner indefinitely.[194]
Great video. Thank you!
Fascinating - thanks for alerting me ... and the music ..well.... interesting!

Great video I liked !!!
Merci beaucoup.
EXCELLENT ¡¡¡ Thanks for sharing with us this part of history.
Nice job poster!
Great video
Great video thanks
Very beautiful video. Where does the haunting musical accompaniment come from?
I'd definitely prefer my final resting place to be in the shade of the willows than the stuffy halls of Invalides.
I don't find the Invalides stuffy. What makes you say that?? It is a huge area.
Great video. Do you live there? Or did you get there by sea?
The music? If I had to guess, Yann Tiersen (most famous for soundtrack of 'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain'. But that is just a guess. Haunting.
I was wondering, too.
Fills me with sadness ...(Napoleon was exiled ;but some people voluntarily accepted 'exile '...).
what is the font you used in the subtitle of this video
Try to read 'le Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène' (in French) (Memorial of Saint-Helena) from Nap's biographer Emmanuel de las Cases. He was in Longwood House/Saint-Helena amongst Nap's three generals: Bertrand, de Montholon and Gourgaud.
Try also to read the book of Jean-Paul Kauffman, 'The Dark Room at Longwood (2000)'.
Very cool video. Music was great. Who was it?
Very nice. I never saw his first thomb!
Enjoyed that
Beautiful and peaceful little video. But Napoleon was brought to St Helena on bord of the HMS Bellerophon with Maitland as captain. Not the Northumberland as stated in this video.
Very interesting
Camera was invented at 1816 right?
La fine di quest'uomo, che aveva dominato l'intera Europa, mi insinua una vena di malinconia... Video assai efficace.
Très impressionnant !
Does the place still have the ‘gentry’ there?
He should have been grateful instead of depressed
Many prisoners would wish to be in his place
A legend indeed
The print is too small
So that house is the property of the French government, but by which act this place should be extorial part of the French Republic? And is there a French consul who is in charge of keeping the premisses in good condition?
perfect isolated islandwhat a great job!!i'm so impressed!!because the island is absoultely far from france!!
Ive been there many times..very quiet place.
We are supplying gasoline and diesel...
what music is in background?
Ivan Boras ikr it's beast
Ultimo Cesare, Sant' Elena, la tua ultima sposa.
wow miss you Napoléon Bonaparte................................
VIVE l'EMPEREUR!!!
Looks like he served the terms of his imprisonment in relative luxury, he could have been exiled to worse places, and been placed in a ramshackle hut.
Should not forget that though he was defeated in battle, he WAS the Emperor of France. You can exile him, but treat him shabbily and you have a revolt. That was one reason that though sent to exile, there was an entourage accompanying him.
It was not a luxury in st Helena by any means whatsoever
Musee d'Armee recreated his death scene.. had his bedlinens.. bed, pillows.. a HUGE drawing what t he scene looked like.. it appears they auctioned off the chemise he w as wearing still having it's blood stains.
I saw this in 1984.. don;t know if it's s till there.. I was alone with this curator. the room was dark.. I looked around w/this half light. and on his side table sat his death mask. just like that. no protection. I ran my fingers on it.. I almost tripped.. there were a series of like boxes. I am glad I looked closely.. it was the casket that brought his body back to France.. outter lining was this gorgeous mahogany. then a lining of tin. silver then gold.. there was an inscription on the gold.. more or less.. said in French..here likes the remains of the emperor of the French. NapoleonI with a coronet over his name. ..gave me goosebumps.
I don;t know if this is still there. it was jus t sitting on the floor.
This museum had his personal effects.. I noticed they have moved it like to Louvre & fountainbleu. .. his personal toiletries & things when he was in battle. his cot.. tent.. cup & saucer. lock of his hair.. most wonderful the leather puch he used over the saddle.. rough leather well used.. just had a simple N w/coronet. in s mall letters.. Napoleon really appeared to have simple taste in his personal life.. and No he was short.. around 5'6.. there was his simple cloth coat too,
Super video Long live Nepolean Bournparte
What is weird is that Hudson Lowe , the governor of St Helena began his carrer in....... Corsica ! Lowe was subject to fierce critics from the british government for His Bad behaviour towards Napoleon and after 1821, Lowe s carrer was over !
Is his body on there?
No. Actually in france. But the place was buy by france and they recreate the place like it was
It was interred there but was transferred back to France.. ejnoomen.home.xs4all.nl/story101.html
Its good to see a famous warmonger was treated so well .
If hitler was cut where would he have been imprisoned that's it the allies thought punitive isolation will do
5:40 His wishes were respected.
No, his wishes weren't respected at all. Idiots found it necessary to disturb his final resting place.
Vive L'Empereur!!!
Vive l'Empereur
Really interesting but the music was terrible.
Far to good for that arf pint '
I like , how they omitted his full style of address on the death certificate.Just plain:The Emperor Napoleon of France, no Imperial Majesty for this upstart, eh? Perhaps, done as not to offend Louis XVIII back in France. Who knows!
We know today that when the royal power pase in review the french troops (some regiments where originaly from napoleon era). They had to say "vive le roy", some of them said "VIVE LE ROI !.. de Rome." < roma king was the title of the son of Napoléon.
In front of the french king.
it said "The former Emperor of France"
A British colonel poisoned Napoleon Bonaparte with arsenic in his food because Napoleon was having a affair with his wife
Although they found arsenic in a lock of Napoleon's hair, later determination was that, based on this, the amount in his body was not enough to kill him. An autopsy at the time found that Napoleon had a perforated stomach, ulcers, and cancer. Also, Napoleon had a taster. That Napoleon died any other way is just a conspiracy theory.
The accordeon music made me puke
too much greed - he wanted to attack every country, grab every territory
it was some shit in this story. the Irish general, too much accurate with his orders
Beats jail in Paris! Beautiful place.
great video, thank you!
Camera was invented at 1816 right?
Idk. But we have pictures of old napoleonian soldiers taken around 30 years after 1815.
