Napoleonin koko valtakautta leimasivat jatkuvat hyökkäyssodat, ja laajimmillaan hän hallitsi laajoja osia Länsi- ja Keski-Eurooppaa. Tällöin hänen valtakuntansa oli kooltaan, armeijaltaan ja väkiluvultaan Euroopan suurin sitten Rooman valtakunnan. Hänet vangittiin hävityn Waterloon taistelun jälkeen vuonna 1815 ja karkotettiin Saint Helenan saarelle.

She was famous for her affair with the French Emperor Napoleon, which was a cause of a violent scene between the Emperor and the Empress Joséphine shortly before their coronation.

Marie Walewska, Countess Walewska (Polish: Maria Walewska; née Łączyńska; 7 December 1786 – 11 December 1817) was a Polish noblewoman in the court of Napoleon I who used her influence to sway the emperor towards the creation of an independent Polish state. In her later years she married count Philippe Antoine d'Ornano, an influential Napoleonic officer.

As a result, he divorced Joséphine and married Marie Louise of Austria.

She was paid a hefty dowry by the emperor, and the newly married couple departed for Spain. Augier was listed as missing in action on 28 November 1812 during Napoleon's Russian Campaign. Newly widowed, she married Count Charles-Emile-Auguste-Louis de Luxbourg in 1814. She remained with her third husband until his death 35 years later.
