Has anyone ever heard of Napoleon going into hiding on Corsica after his rise to power? My wife and I had a spirited discussion of that yesterday while driving. I claim no, she says yes.
I have not heard of him going back to Corsica, but indeed Elba. Although exiled, many say he was considered the “king” of the island ~30 miles east of Corsica.
Yes he was born in Corsica when it belonged to Italy. He learned French in his teens.My wifes claim is that he hid in Corsica for a few months after he abdicated in 1814.
No. He was far to public a person–and far too watched by the nations who defeated him–to have gone to Corisca without our knowing about it today.
