Besides being a great soldier and emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte had a weakness for women. The British newspaper "The Sun" has written a long article dedicated to Bonaparte, where it dwells on his life beyond the military legend, but on his intimate relationships. According to the British, Bonaparte lost his virginity in a brothel and not with one, not two, but four prostitutes.
This versatile man had a soft spot for the great love of his life, Josephine, who was six years older and a widow with two children. He met her in 1763. However, at that time Bonaparte was engaged to the queen of Sweden and Norway, Desiree, yet he could not resist Josephine's charm.
When the young widow with two children met Napoleon, she was 32 and he only 26. The year before, she had lost her husband, Alexandre de Boernay, who had been sentenced to death by guillotine. As a widow, Jozefina was known for her connections with many prominent politicians. They met at a party and Napoleon fell head over heels in love with her. It didn't happen like that with Josephine, who didn't have a love of these proportions, but liking the life of luxury, she accepted his friendship and married him in record time.
Rumor has it that Josephine began to realize that she had feelings for Bonaparte when the latter began to distance her after learning of her betrayal while he was at war. Napoleon and Josephine divorced five years after she became empress because she could not provide him with the heir he desired. Despite the divorce, they remained good friends, Bonaparte never stopped caring for her and her children.

Josephine betrayed him a few weeks after the wedding, but Napoleon refused to let her go. Even as he led his men into battle, his lust for Josephine could not be quenched. It is even revealed in the film that he wrote her "dirty letters", where at one point he asked her not to bathe for three days, until he returned from the battle.
