A hitherto unexamined history presented in a new way of the wider
Bonaparte family shedding new light on their eventful lives in
Britain. From duels on Wimbledon Common and suicides in Hyde Park,
to public lynchings in Shropshire and the sexual adventures of a
princess who rescued Freud from the Nazis and brought him to
Britain, this book will expose the curious events surrounding the
family's exploits in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Originally an
island family themselves, the Bonapartes have had a surprisingly
good relationship with the British Isles. In just two generations,
the Bonapartes went from being Britain's worst enemy, to Queen
Victoria's closest friends. Far from another mere history of
Napoleon Bonaparte, this book is divided into different branches of
the Bonaparte family, detailing - in an anecdotal and amusing way -
their rather scandalous lives in Britain. For example, few will
know that Napoleon III was once a volunteer constable in the
Westminster Constabulary and arrested a drunk woman; or that
Princess Marie Bonaparte paid for Prince Philip's education as well
as conducted her own research into the clitoris in her quest to
achieve an orgasm; or that Napoleon IV fought for the British army
and was killed by the Zulus; or that one Bonaparte was even made a
High Sheriff in a British town. The current head of the family is a
London banker. They are known to most as the enemies of Britain,
but the truth is quite the opposite, and far more entertaining.
