BORN A POOR NOBLE, THIS NATAL LEO ROSE TO BATTLE NATIONS AND TO BE AN INAPEASABLE POTENTATE. A NOTABLE LOOTER AND NOBLE NERO OF THE PEOPLE, NATIONS FEAR THIS REBEL'S RULE OF EUROPE. AUSTRIA, ITALIA, IBERIA, ISRAEL, POLAND FAIL; BRITAIN OPPOSED HIS THRONE.
Born on August 15, 1769 as Napoleone di Buonaparte. Though the Buonaparte family belonged to minor nobility, they were financially poor and did not regard themselves as aristocrats.
AT NINE, LEARNED AT BRIENNE. AFTER, A LIEUTENANT.
While nine years old, Napoleon was admitted to a military school at Brienne de Chateau.
After his graduation, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant.

PUBLISHED THREE PAPERS.
During his Italian campaigns, he became influential in French politics.
He published three newspapers which were widely circulated within France.

ON AN ENTERPRISE TO THE SOIL OF RA'S HEART, LIBERATE THE ROSETTA STONE.
On a military expedition to Egypt, a large group of scientists were included. Among their discoveries was the famous Rosetta Stone, which contained crucial keys to deciphering ancient languages.

BATTLE THE BRITISH FLEET UNDER HORATIO NELSON IN THE NILE.
NELSON LEFT BONAPARTE TO PERISH ASHORE, FRUSTRATED.
The Battle of the Nile saw the British naval commander, Horatio Nelson, capturing or destroying all but two French vessels, leaving Napoleon stuck in Egypt, frustrating his goal of strengthening French power in the Southern Mediterranean Sea.

SOLD LOUISIANA TO THE U.S. FOR THREE PENNIES A LOT.
After losing a French base on Haiti, he acknowledged that the French possessions on the North American mainland would not be defendable. This, combined with an imminent war with Britain, led him to sell land to the Americans for less than three cents an acre: the Louisiana Purchase.

NAPOLEON'S FINEST TROOPS TO BATTLE BRITISH IN IBERIA.
After British involvement in a Spanish rebellion, Napoleon was forced to leave the country when war with Austria threatened. He had to commit hundreds of thousands of his finest troops to battle Spanish guerrillas who were bolstered by Duke Wellington's army.

SELF-ENTHRONED UNDER POPE PIUS.
On December 2, 1804, Napoleon proclaimed himself Emperor. Pope Pius VII blessed the imperial regalia.

THE BLOODIEST BATTLE IN BORODINO: RETREAT, A THOUSAND-THOUSAND DEATHS.
The only major battle fought in Russia was at Borodino, in 1812. The French army lost thousands of troops as it delved into hostile territory and, later, fought through the Russian winter. After a defeat in Moscow, the French had a ruinous retreat: over 600,000 troops had entered Russian territory, but less than 40,000 escaped. The French lost more than 500,000, the Russian army lost 400,000 men, and there were several hundred thousand civilian deaths.

BATTLE OF NATIONS IS FINAL DEFEAT.
Against a coalition of many countries, French forces were finally stymied by a force of almost half a million warriors at the Battle of Nations in October, 1813. By far, the largest battle of the Napoleonic Wars, over 120,000 casualties were recorded. Reduced to less than 100,000 troops, Napoleon withdrew his army. Vastly outnumbered, and surrounded on every side, French defeat was inevitable.

IN APRIL, FONTAINEBLEAU, THE LAST OF TREATIES, NAPOLEON ABANDONS HIS THRONE.
HE IS BANISHED TO THE ITALIAN ISLE OF ELBA.
Napoleon issued an unconditional surrender on April 11, 1814 in the Treaty of Fontainebleau.
The victors exiled him to Elba, a small island off the coast of Italy.

BOLSTER OPPOSITION, FALSE REPENTER - FINAL SHORT RULE IN PARIS.
In February of 1815, Napoleon escapes from Elba and returns to mainland France. He gathers soldiers and marches on Paris, quickly raising a force of over 300,000 men. He governed there for a hundred days.

REBANISH TO HIS LAST HABITAT: A PRISON ON SAINT HELENA, THERE TO HIS DEATH.
After his defeat by the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was imprisoned and exiled island of Saint Helena.

IN THIS ERA, IN PAST ERAS, NAPOLEON IS AN ETERNAL NOTABLE.
Duke Wellington was once asked who was the greatest general of the day.
He replied "In this age, in past ages, in any age: Napoleon."

HE IS NOT ETERNAL: HE IS POISONABLE.
There are several theories about Napoleon's death, ranging from arsenic poisoning to stomach cancer. When his body was moved it was found to be remarkably well preserved, which gives support to the arsenic theory (arsenic is a strong preservative).

I found her name interesting because she was unable,
even with a generated Lexigram word list,
to find anything of meaning from her name.

Folks too often give up or do not take the time to really delve into their names.
It is a very time intensive thing to do Lexigramming error free.

Anyhow if anyone is interested;
see the Lexigrams I did on her name here:
(there are several by the way counting various versions) http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001930.html
Some are developmental text, some finished text,
then most turned to text with graphics.
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001930.html
http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/001930-2.html

Here I even use Portuguese in her Lexigrams.
