Book Cover & Preview Text
So, Napoleon rushed back from Spain and quashed the conspiracy against him in France and he forgave Murat for the sake of Caroline. And he met the Austrians in battle at Wagram and he defeated them, but he was wounded in the battle. And, at the peace table, there was another attempt on his life, and an assassin tried to run him through with a blade. So, now, Napoleon was more desperate than ever for an heir, for if he had fallen under the assassin’s knife or he had fallen in battle, his army would have disbanded and his generals would have warred with each other and his empire would have collapsed, for he still had no heir.
