  • Eugène De Beauharnais Fils Et Vice-Roi De Napoléon
    Michel Kerautret Eugène de Beauharnais Fils et vice-roi de Napoléon Tallandier Cartes : © Éditions Tallandier/Légendes cartographie, 2021 © Éditions Tallandier, 2021 48, rue du Faubourg‑Montmartre – 75009 Paris www.tallandier.com ISBN : 979‑10‑210‑4536‑1 Introduction Eugène de Beauharnais, beau‑fils et fils adoptif de Napoléon, auquel il doit entièrement son existence historique, est une figure paradoxale dans la grande fresque de l’épopée : omni‑ présent du début à la fin, il paraît pourtant moins nette‑ ment campé que certains caractères plus typés, Talleyrand ou Fouché, Ney ou Murat ; et moins romanesque que sa sœur Hortense, si touchante et si malheureuse. Comme s’il n’ac‑ crochait pas la lumière, ou demeurait dans l’ombre portée de l’empereur. La postérité ne l’a certes pas ignoré – plusieurs biographies lui ont été consacrées –, mais elle l’a laissé au second plan, le trouvant sans doute un peu terne, manquant de relief. Elle a manifestement préféré les bravaches aux modestes, les flamboyants aux laborieux, les scélérats gran‑ dioses aux vertueux discrets. Eugène aura paru trop sage pour cette époque haletante où se bousculent tant de figures hautes en couleur. On peut comprendre ce tropisme. Cependant, outre ce qu’il comporte d’injustice, il aboutit à occulter en partie le rôle d’un acteur important et, à travers lui, tout un pan de l’histoire napoléonienne. Eugène, fils de l’épouse de l’empereur, est aussi proche qu’on peut l’être du centre de cette histoire. Mais il en constitue aussi, comme vice‑roi en Italie et comme prince bavarois, un élément détaché, sinon tout à fait autonome.

Aussi, transforma-t-il une partie du château de Versailles inoccupé depuis la Révolution en musée dédié « à toutes les gloires de la France ». Cette initiative sauva le château d’une ruine certaine et fut l’occasion de manifester ce désir. C’est en 1837 que fut inauguré le musée de l’Histoire de France. Il avait pour but d’illustrer les grands événements de l’histoire française depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu’au règne de Louis-Philippe, à travers un ensemble de peintures, soit commandées à des artistes contemporains (François-Marius Granet, François Gérard, Eugène Devéria, Eugène Delacroix, Horace Vernet, etc.), soit choisies dans les collections nationales.

  • What Killed Napoleon?
    WHAT KILLED NAPOLEON? The health of Napoleon has always been surrounded by controversy and has been reported by many biographers. If all of them are to be believed, his state of health was vulnerable and over the course of his lifetime he is thought to have suffered from up to 43 individual diseases, all of which have been studied by many doctors over time. There have long been rumours, but no proof, that he was infected with gonorrhoea and syphilis by his wife Josephine. Look closely, however, and the evidence is there in the myriad biographies published since his death in 1821. This evidence can be evaluated using the everyday method of practising doctors which links careful clinical observation with macroscopic post‐mortem data. This method revolutionised diagnosis in the late 18th century leading to the identification of many diseases in the 19th and 20th century, and is the method used in this study. The controversy over exactly what killed Napoleon arises for a variety of reasons unconnected with the quality of the medical evidence reported in the biographies. The Napoleonic legend and its various propagandists, the diagnostic obsession of the first half of the 20th century with the glandular hypothesis (hormones), and a failure to look at the whole picture all contrived to obscure the truth of the emperor’s demise. Studying Napoleon's diseases is an absolute minefield for the unwary, with apparently competent authorities skipping over information and suggesting impossible diagnoses. The evidence of disease in an historical figure is the description of the syndromes. This paints the clinical picture.

Conquering the Natural Frontier: French Expansion to the Rhine River during the War of the First Coalition, 1792-1797. Doctor of Philosophy (European History), December 2015, 487 pp., 14 maps, references, 445 titles. After conquering Belgium and the Rhineland in 1794, the French Army of the Sambre and Meuse faced severe logistical, disciplinary, and morale problems that signaled the erosion of its capabilities. The army’s degeneration resulted from a revolution in French foreign policy designed to conquer the natural frontiers, a policy often falsely portrayed as a diplomatic tradition of the French monarchy. In fact, the natural frontiers policy – expansion to the Rhine, the Pyrenees, and the Alps – emerged only after the start of the War of the First Coalition in 1792. Moreover, the pursuit of natural frontiers caused more controversy than previously understood. No less a figure than Lazare Carnot – the Organizer of Victory – viewed French expansion to the Rhine as impractical and likely to perpetuate war. While the war of conquest provided the French state with the resources to survive, it entailed numerous unforeseen consequences.

The Bourbon monarchy was restored in France, yet it would only lead to revolution in 1830. Another revolution in 1848 would bring the French monarchy to an end.
