Josephine

Series "Great beauties". "Army. France. Josephine "- said Napoleon before his death. Although he was forced to divorce his first wife due to her childlessness, the Emperor loved the Empress until the end of his days and died with her name on his lips. They say that even in her youth, this short Creole could not call herself a beauty, but under the gaze of her witch's eyes with incredibly long eyelashes, hearing her deeply moving voice, men lost their heads. They say that she was "immoral to the marrow" - but Josephine was simply in a hurry to live, forgetting about past hardships, because before meeting Napoleon, she had to go through all the circles of women's hell: unsuccessful marriage, contemptuous inattention to her first spouse, lack of money, even prison ... she married General Bonaparte, who was six years younger than her, according to the calculation - he paid her huge debts, she introduced him to high society.
