Ойындар
For the third episode of “Assassin’s Creed: Real History” we shall review and discuss the history of the French general and political leader, Emperor Napoléon Ier.
If you have any topic requests for a future video, in which you would like me to research the real history and compare it to the game’s representation, please leave me a comment!

English subtitles are available for this video.
Topic Choice
The idea behind re-exploring this topic was to include the contents of the Dead Kings dlc, while also further discussing Bonaparte's involvement within the Assassin's Creed mythology.
Disclaimer
I am an amateur historian. History is not my official field of study, but rather a passion. This series acts as my hobby and as a way to share with you the real history behind characters, groups, events and locations that are depicted in the Assassin’s Creed video game series. Although I work hard to be as detail-oriented as possible, I am clearly not without fault and therefore welcome you to let me know whether you feel I have missed anything important or have misrepresented something in my video.

I'm a HUGE Napoleon nerd and my Four time great grandfather fought in his Grande Armee. He was 20 when he survived the Russian invasion and retreat and he also fought at the Battles of Leipzig and Waterloo. If I ever have a son, his name will be Nikolaus (he was a ethnic German from Alcase Lorraine) in his honor.

Good to hear you've kept your nice French accent, Robius. :) I also want to mention that we know, since the enigmas in AC II's glyphs, that Napoléon has an Apple of Eden (kept in the pocket in which he always has his hand) Great vid, keep it up !

Haha, yep. Considering I speak French, I figured I may as well give the names their proper pronunciations when I had the chance. Also, I definitely remember that portion in AC2 and actually considered tying it into this video, however as it was already getting rather long, I made the decision that I would strictly stick to Napoleon's "in-character" depiction in the series, and excludes those other mentions of him that occurred in the contemporary setting. -Robius
Robespierre is also an interesting individual to analyze, I recommend him.
These videos are so good, deserve waayyy more views! Good work man
Hi Online Knights, great video (I sat through it all) ;), I now have a better understanding of Napoleon. Thanks a lot!!! In future, I hope that some of the notes I gave to you for previous characters are of some use, even if they are minor. Keep it up!!!

As for your past notes, I'll definitely be looking through previous comment sections to get the community's feedback as part of the more in-depth research I am trying to conduct for this updated series of content. As for Robespierre, I will definitely consider him for a future video. Thanks. -Robius
