Napoleon Bonaparte

Extraordinary Childhood:



Napoleon's family has always been on the move, due his father, Carlo, being part of an independent movement against the Genoese ever since Napoleon was still in his mother, Letuzia's , womb.
Napoleon's father was part of the Pasquale Paoli's forces, and was made lieutenant by Paoli himself.
Napoleon was born during the Feast of the Assumption on a couch in the living room of his parent's house. He was the second oldest of eight children, and was named Napoleon after an Egyptian religious figure. He was also given the nickname, Ravulione, which means "he who meddles in everything".
Napoleon was small, pugnacious, and hot tempered. Even though short, he often was able to beat his brother when fighting. He had remained small and light-weighted throughout his life - that's until he was married to Marie-Louise of Austria.

His mother was a very religious women, and made her children attend High Mass every Sunday, and would slap them if they didn't: especially Napoleon. Some say that that's the reason he became very religious and often based his thoughts on religion.

Napoleon was known for his LARGE ego. He often follows his father to local taverns where he watched his father gamble, but was very unlucky at it. Napoleon then would report that night's "adventures" to his mother.

With a very exciting childhood, and a mother that acted...well like a mother, Napoleon turned out to be very civil. He cared ALOT about cleansiness--- bathed daily for more than and hour in the morning--- and he was very generous: liked sharing his stuff. Apart from the conquering he did, to France Napoleon was a great man and a hero!!!
