64 - Napoleon I, Part 1

from Battle Royale: French Monarchs Hosted by Ben Clarke and Eliza Sommers

From obscure Corsican officer to Emperor of the French, this episode we chart the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte in the first of his 3 episodes. There is so much about this man to cover, and we have still only scratched the surface. Fitting that this episode is coming out on Easter, since Napoleon not only resurrected the French church, but his episode is also filled with Easter eggs for long-time listeners as we get the return of Italian Wars, another bout of Black Death and Pope Slap 2: Napoleon Edition! ⚜️ This episode's outro music is "le chant du départ", a popular military anthem from Napoleon's reign, performed by Roger Roger et son Orchestre, 1957. Battle Royale's intro music is ⁠⁠"Dansez" by Fasion⁠⁠. Go check out more of their stuff ⁠⁠here⁠⁠. ⚜️ Visit our website ⁠for episode images, score summaries and more!
