I think it's possible Napoleon was murdered simply because he lived by the sword. As it was with Rome, so also it similarly died

If you can find it Dr. Susanah Lipscombe presented a series about the hidden killers in the home throughout history, set in various time periods, such as the Elizabethen, Georgian, and Victorian ages. It details the everyday objects and practices that were unknowingly killing thousands of people throughout history.

So basically, arsenic could have come from his wallpaper, his drink, the soil, probably hand cream, his food, his water probably, the mites in his bedsheets, underwear, and clothes, and probably also the ink in the books he read.

Arsenic was also used in medicine.

Napoleon thinking after Waterloo that he could just go retire to private life somewhere reminds me of Hermann Goering thinking he could do the same after WWII ended… it seems delusional. Although, I guess Hirohito was allowed to stay emperor after the war, so maybe it’s not as crazy as I think.

@jergarmar

Ай бұрын

Comparing Napoleon to Goering or Hirohito seems kind of arbitrarily. There were tons of European leaders trying to gain power, Napoleon was just really really good at fighting wars.

I went to St Helena last year. Longwood House is very impressive and the Valley of the Tomb, where Napoleon was initially buried, is very moving.

Amazing how you missed a well documented dinner when some British officials had dinner with Napoleon on St. Helena. All of those who ate with Napoleon was sick shortly after. If that isn't poison I don't know what else is.

People were also poisoned just by breathing in poorly ventilated air in rooms with arsenic wallpaper. You don't have to touch it to be poisoned by it, although mould would certainly help disseminate arsenic particulates in the air (which worsens the breathing issues). But also the medical treatments at the time were very primitive and destructive to the patient's body anyway, so just that alone could have made a patient with gastric ulcers and stomach cancer so compromised that they died earlier than they might have with just the cancer alone.

That scheel's green was no joke. It was a beautiful killer in the Victorian era for sure. And calomel is definitely not something to be messed with.

Or what if he got poisoned after first becoming really sick? That would be the best time to wait and do it that way there would be no question how he got sick in then first place.

He didn’t die on the island he was rescued by Jean Lafitte and both died shortly after escaping to America

If ambient arsenic was the cause, not only Napoleon, but the others coinhabiting with him would have suffered similar symptoms. Is there any information on this?

Glasses? This your drawer video? Was expecting no glasses Simon.

Gilles Messier?? The “Our Own Devices” guy was the author of this episode?

He appears to have died from a succession of Lowe blows😖. That said, I’m surprised he wasn’t simply executed upon capture, the normal fate of charismatic leaders on the losing side😂 How civilised, to exile him with some of his chums and a personal physician. Goering himself might have wished for such treatment 🫤

It wasn't the British it was from within Napoleon's inner circle and it was Count Tristan de Montholon based on the studies in the 1950s by a Swedish dentist and Amateur Toxicologist Dr. Sten Forhusuvd and found traces of arsenic in a single strand of Napoleon's hair about 15 times or more, it was Chronic Arsenic poisoning that caused his death when his body was exhumed 19 years after his death it was found perfectly intact no signs of deterioration, conclusion arsenic kills but it also preserves tissue.

Napoleon suffered from Little Man Syndrome.
