Beautiful and interesting video on the empire.

I recall hearing a story that one night Josephine was seen wondering
the palace halls late at night unable to sleep. Barefoot and with her
hair unstyled, she looked completely different than usual and one of the
guards asked her if she was feeling well. "Oh, I'm feeling just fine"
she replied. "I suppose I do look a bit pale without makeup on."

The video is magnificent and the text from Vincent Cronin's "Napoleon" is an inspired choice. One small observation concerning the choice of paintings, 02:57 is Hortense, not Josephine.

... And he wasn't captured in 1815, he asked for asylum (July 1815).
