Happened upon this video early today and watched it while having morning coffee. It intrigued me and put me in a good and pensive mood for the rest of the day. Very appreciated.
What a fine video, showing St. Helena's natural beauty. Amazing! Thanks. Since I collected British Empire postage stamps as a teenager, I have wanted to visit St.-Helena. Now it's accessible by air. There are several videos on You Tube of air travel to St. Helena, of which at least one tempts the dare-devil traveller.
This is how civilised countries should deal with their adversaries after winning a war. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Whatever went wrong thereafter?
] The Timespublished articles insinuating the British government was trying to hasten his death. Napoleon often complained of the living conditions in letters to the governor and his custodian, Hudson Lowe,[191] while his attendants complained of "colds, catarrhs, damp floors and poor provisions."[192] It has been speculated by modern scientists that his later illness arose from arsenic poisoning caused by copper arsenite in the wallpaper at Longwood House.[193] With a small cadre of followers, Napoleon dictated his memoirs and grumbled about conditions. Lowe cut Napoleon's expenditure, ruled that no gifts were allowed if they mentioned his imperial status, and made his supporters sign a guarantee they would stay with the prisoner indefinitely.[194]
Try to read 'le Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène' (in French) (Memorial of Saint-Helena) from Nap's biographer Emmanuel de las Cases. He was in Longwood House/Saint-Helena amongst Nap's three generals: Bertrand, de Montholon and Gourgaud. Try also to read the book of Jean-Paul Kauffman, 'The Dark Room at Longwood (2000)'.
Beautiful and peaceful little video. But Napoleon was brought to St Helena on bord of the HMS Bellerophon with Maitland as captain. Not the Northumberland as stated in this video.
Musee d'Armee recreated his death scene.. had his bedlinens.. bed, pillows.. a HUGE drawing what t he scene looked like.. it appears they auctioned off the chemise he w as wearing still having it's blood stains. I saw this in 1984.. don;t know if it's s till there.. I was alone with this curator. the room was dark.. I looked around w/this half light. and on his side table sat his death mask. just like that. no protection. I ran my fingers on it.. I almost tripped.. there were a series of like boxes. I am glad I looked closely.. it was the casket that brought his body back to France.. outter lining was this gorgeous mahogany. then a lining of tin. silver then gold.. there was an inscription on the gold.. more or less.. said in French..here likes the remains of the emperor of the French. NapoleonI with a coronet over his name. ..gave me goosebumps. I don;t know if this is still there. it was jus t sitting on the floor. This museum had his personal effects.. I noticed they have moved it like to Louvre & fountainbleu. .. his personal toiletries & things when he was in battle. his cot.. tent.. cup & saucer. lock of his hair.. most wonderful the leather puch he used over the saddle.. rough leather well used.. just had a simple N w/coronet. in s mall letters.. Napoleon really appeared to have simple taste in his personal life.. and No he was short.. around 5'6.. there was his simple cloth coat too,
So that house is the property of the French government, but by which act this place should be extorial part of the French Republic? And is there a French consul who is in charge of keeping the premisses in good condition?
What is weird is that Hudson Lowe , the governor of St Helena began his carrer in....... Corsica ! Lowe was subject to fierce critics from the british government for His Bad behaviour towards Napoleon and after 1821, Lowe s carrer was over !
Although they found arsenic in a lock of Napoleon's hair, later determination was that, based on this, the amount in his body was not enough to kill him. An autopsy at the time found that Napoleon had a perforated stomach, ulcers, and cancer. Also, Napoleon had a taster. That Napoleon died any other way is just a conspiracy theory.

👍🏻
👍
Excellent presentation - music is perfect for its mood.
Lovely film, only wish it were longer...the sounds of the birds and insects was very peaceful.
Ah fate, born on an island- died on an island
I was about to write exactly that. so true.
Napoleon was insatiable for many lands, the whole Earth in fact.
Super video - just the right length and no wasted frames. Thank you

Amazing film thank you for creating this

EXCELLENT ¡¡¡ Thanks for sharing with us this part of history.
Great video. Thank you!
Great video I liked !!!
great video, thank you!
this is wonderful ... great landscapes...with lots of history memories.
The British Territory of Saint Helena is a very beautiful country.
Great, thank you.
Nice job poster!
Yes good video.Thanks uploader
Very informative, I really enjoyed this video.
Long Live the emperor long live the master long live the man for ever
Thank so much for this amazing video!!!
The music? If I had to guess, Yann Tiersen (most famous for soundtrack of 'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain'. But that is just a guess. Haunting.
I was wondering, too.
Great video
Great video thanks
Very nice. I never saw his first thomb!
Fills me with sadness ...(Napoleon was exiled ;but some people voluntarily accepted 'exile '...).
I'd definitely prefer my final resting place to be in the shade of the willows than the stuffy halls of Invalides.
I don't find the Invalides stuffy. What makes you say that?? It is a huge area.

Très impressionnant !
Very interesting
Great video. Do you live there? Or did you get there by sea?
Beautiful and peaceful little video. But Napoleon was brought to St Helena on bord of the HMS Bellerophon with Maitland as captain. Not the Northumberland as stated in this video.
Very beautiful video. Where does the haunting musical accompaniment come from?
Enjoyed that
Very cool video. Music was great. Who was it?
He should have been grateful instead of depressed
Many prisoners would wish to be in his place
wow miss you Napoléon Bonaparte................................
A legend indeed
La fine di quest'uomo, che aveva dominato l'intera Europa, mi insinua una vena di malinconia... Video assai efficace.
Ive been there many times..very quiet place.
We are supplying gasoline and diesel...
Looks like he served the terms of his imprisonment in relative luxury, he could have been exiled to worse places, and been placed in a ramshackle hut.
It was not a luxury in st Helena by any means whatsoever
what is the font you used in the subtitle of this video

Does the place still have the ‘gentry’ there?
The print is too small

Ultimo Cesare, Sant' Elena, la tua ultima sposa.
Super video Long live Nepolean Bournparte
perfect isolated islandwhat a great job!!i'm so impressed!!because the island is absoultely far from france!!
5:40 His wishes were respected.
No, his wishes weren't respected at all. Idiots found it necessary to disturb his final resting place.
Camera was invented at 1816 right?
What is weird is that Hudson Lowe , the governor of St Helena began his carrer in....... Corsica ! Lowe was subject to fierce critics from the british government for His Bad behaviour towards Napoleon and after 1821, Lowe s carrer was over !
VIVE l'EMPEREUR!!!
what music is in background?
Ivan Boras ikr it's beast
If hitler was cut where would he have been imprisoned that's it the allies thought punitive isolation will do
Its good to see a famous warmonger was treated so well .
Vive L'Empereur!!!
Vive l'Empereur
Really interesting but the music was terrible.
A British colonel poisoned Napoleon Bonaparte with arsenic in his food because Napoleon was having a affair with his wife
Although they found arsenic in a lock of Napoleon's hair, later determination was that, based on this, the amount in his body was not enough to kill him. An autopsy at the time found that Napoleon had a perforated stomach, ulcers, and cancer. Also, Napoleon had a taster. That Napoleon died any other way is just a conspiracy theory.
Far to good for that arf pint '
The accordeon music made me puke
too much greed - he wanted to attack every country, grab every territory
it was some shit in this story. the Irish general, too much accurate with his orders
Beats jail in Paris! Beautiful place.
Camera was invented at 1816 right?
Idk. But we have pictures of old napoleonian soldiers taken around 30 years after 1815.
