BIO I've always wanted to write a book
about the women in Napoleon's family, but these pages may be
the closest I get for quite a while. In the meantime,
you'll want to know about Elizabeth Patterson, who married Napoleon
Bonaparte's handsome baby brother Jerome.
Elizabeth, called Betsy, was the most
beautiful girl in Baltimore at the beginning of the nineteenth
century. When Jerome Bonaparte came to the United States as a
representative of the French government, Jerome and Betsy fell madly
in love and married. Sadly, Emperor Napoleon had the dumpy
Princess Catherine of Westphalia in mind for Jerome and arranged an
annulment for Betsy's marriage. Betsy never really accepted
Jerome's new wife and ended her days back in Baltimore. Too
sad for Betsy, but Catherine's family connections helped Jerome
survive Napoleon's final military defeat and end his days in royal
comfort. Nancy
PS Don't forget to visit our Désirée page to meet the woman Napoleon jilted so he could marry Josephine. Nancy

| The A&E series, Horatio
Hornblower [well worth renting or purchasing - I think it's
better than Master and Commander], featured Betsy and
Jerome Bonaparte in the episode, "Duty," that premiered in the US on
December 3, 2003. It's included in The New Adventures,
which is the second link below. Nancy
PS I found Bewitching Betsy Bonaparte in a pile of used books and was introduced to a woman who is only an
interesting footnote in history. I have not yet read Betsy
Bonaparte, The Belle of Baltimore.
If a book you're looking for is out of
print, click on any link to Amazon Books Home Page, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, or Alibris to find out if it is available as a used book.

| Napoleon, a Political Life, delves into the man and his world in an extremely well-researched
biography of the ultimate political animal. I learned all kinds
of things other authors missed.
Napoleon's Buttons is as much
a science book as a history. But it's important to remember
that the littlest thing, even a molecule, can change lives.
There is always more to a story. Nancy
