This bosom friend, Josephine de Bohana (French: Joséphine de Beauharnais,1763 June 23rd ~ ~181April 29th), was originally named marie rose Joseffi Tass. Josephine was born in Martinique, a French colony at that time, and later died in Marmeisson Castle near Paris, France. Josephine is the daughter of Joseph gaspard Tasir, Duke of Laparelli, and his wife Rose Claire de Wiggers de Sanova. Her sister Catherine Dyqianlei was betrothed to Alexander, Viscount Bohanas, but Catherine Dyqianlei died in 1777. Josephine married Alexander on 1779 12 13 and gave birth to two children: Ouren, 1788. Josephine is the ancestor of modern royal families in Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Greece, Norway, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Monaco, and the famous fashion designer Egon von Festenberg is also her descendant. 1794 During the reign of terror during the French Revolution, her husband, Alexander, was detained by jacobins and was soon charged with treason and sentenced to death. She was also detained because of her husband's involvement, and was later released because of the intervention of Jean-Lamber Talion, a member of the Hot Moon Party. 1795, Zeyue Party promulgated a new constitution and her husband's inheritance was returned. After saving her life, she became a social butterfly in Paris with her beauty, wisdom and excellent communication skills. Introduced by a powerful minister, she married Napoleon. After Napoleon was crowned 1804, Napoleon divorced 1809 on the grounds that he had no children. Josephine was six years older than Napoleon, when she was a widow with two children. Once she heard a friend talk about Napoleon's deeds, admired him very much and wanted to know this promising young officer. But it was not easy for him to go by himself, and it was not appropriate to find someone else to introduce him, so she came up with an idea. Josephine 12-year-old son followed his mother's orders and came to Napoleon's residence. The little guy asked Napoleon to return his father's sword, which was executed by robespierre during the terror. Napoleon agreed to the child's request, and the child took the sword with tears in his eyes and kissed the sacred object. The next day, Josephine came to thank him and poured out her love. Her beauty and frankness deeply touched him. Napoleon thought that marrying the young widow had a great bearing on his happiness. This will be a strong support for him to realize his ambition. They got married only three months after they met each other. Two days after the wedding, Napoleon returned to the front line of Italy, and the French army, with poor command, training and weapons, defeated the powerful Austrian army, making him famous all over Europe. Napoleon's love for Josephine was feminine, pure and kind, and won Napoleon's love. He wrote in one of her letters: I received your letter, in which you seemed to blame me for speaking ill of women. The problem is that what I hate most is female schemers. I am used to kind, gentle and gentle women, and I like them. If they indulge me, it's not my fault, it's your fault. But you will see that I am tolerant of a reasonable and respected woman. When I showed her the letter that her husband betrayed me, she began to cry and shouted, "This is indeed his handwriting!" " "That's enough. It touched my heart. I said, "well, madam, throw the letter into the fire. I have no evidence against your husband." She burned the letter and turned grief into joy. Now her husband is saved. If he is two hours late, he will be put to death. So, you see, I like feminine, pure and kind women, because only they are like you. Josephine and Napoleon's greatest misfortune is that they have no children. Napoleon wanted to dominate Europe and have a son to inherit his legacy. After he was declared emperor by the Senate in 1804, this idea became more obvious. 1809165438+1On October 30th, Napoleon, just over 40 years old, finally proposed to divorce Josephine. When Josephine had lunch with Napoleon as usual that day, Napoleon asked the left and right sides to step down as soon as he finished his coffee. He approached her, took her hand and put it on his chest. He stared for a while and said, "Josephine, my dear Josephine! You know I love you, and you gave me the only happy moment in the world. But, Josephine, my fate is higher than my will; My most precious love must give way to the interests of France. "1809 12 16, Napoleon and Josephine formally divorced. 1 810 April1day, Napoleon married Marie-Louisa, the grand duchess of Austria. I got my son in March the following year. Josephine has been living in Marmason's bedroom since the divorce. Napoleon often visited her, but her spirit was always in low spirits. After Josephine died, Napoleon came to her grave and wept bitterly. 18 14 When Napoleon was defeated and exiled to the island of Elba, Mary-Louisa returned to her hometown in Vienna with her son, but she was not allowed to see Napoleon when she left. 18 15 years, Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena after the failure of restoration. 182 1 Napoleon died in St. Helena at the age of 5 1 on May 5, 2008. On his deathbed, Napoleon was still shouting "Josephine! "
The main reason for Napoleon's divorce from Josephine was the children. For Napoleon, who has proclaimed himself emperor, it is very important to have children. According to his plan, the future Napoleonic Empire is far more than France, and it is actually more like a plan to unify Europe. Therefore, the inheritance of future generations is not just a problem for two people. Without an heir, if anything happens to him, the empire will fall apart. Queen Josephine lost her fertility and her brothers were useless. The only solution is to divorce Josephine and marry a queen who can have sons. 65438+February 65438+May, Napoleon and Josephine finished the formalities. The search for a new queen is also in full swing. Only princesses from the royal family can be suitable, and there are not many objects to choose from. The British royal family is Napoleon's sworn enemy. It's impossible. Only Russia and Austria are left.
They divorced on 1809 12 16. 18 10 On April 2, Napoleon married Princess Maria Louisa of Austria and gave birth to a son in March of the following year. After the divorce, Napoleon still retained the title of "Queen" of Josephine, and arranged for her to go to Mar Mei Sen Manor. Napoleon gave her everything she needed and comforted her himself. After a long time, Napoleon learned that she was in a bad mood and often wrote to greet her. 182 1 On May 5, 2008, Napoleon died in St. Helena at the age of 5 1 year. On his deathbed, he was still chanting the name "Josephine".
But everything must be measured. Emperor Napoleon divorced Queen Josephine for the following reasons:
1. Josephine leads a dissolute and extravagant life.
Although Josephine cheated again and again, Napoleon crowned her queen in front of the whole world. Napoleon was not infatuated with Josephine. After Napoleon became the first ruler, he couldn't stand the humiliation that his wife was increasingly cuckolding him. No matter how happy love is, there are times when it is not sweet. Josephine's infertility became the emperor's heart disease.
Napoleon advocated simplicity, simple clothes and simple diet. Therefore, he doesn't like Josephine wearing all kinds of fancy clothes. The tension between Josephine and Napoleon's mother, Laticia, has also become a hidden danger of divorce, and Laticia once lived a hard life.
2. Josephine lost her fertility.
This should be the last straw to crush the precarious relationship between the two. Josephine gave birth to a son and a daughter before marrying Napoleon, but after becoming queen, she has passed the best childbearing age. Napoleon was very fond of children, especially after he became emperor. The problem of the heir kept him awake. The reason why his wife was unfaithful to him and longed for an heir prompted Napoleon to try his best to find a woman who could have more children. However, even if a humble mistress gives birth to a son, she can't inherit the throne. In the end, Napoleon chose Louise, the Austrian princess whose mother was prolific and prominent, as the new queen.
However, it is said that Napoleon in exile was stunned by the news of Josephine's death and did not leave home for two whole days. His final comment on Josephine is "I still love you, and I didn't hold you in my arms in my dream all night." No woman has won my deep love and won more infatuation, fanaticism and meekness. "
