| |  | | | From The Publisher
"In 1810 Napoleon married Archduchess Marie Louise, the eighteen-year-old daughter of his lifelong enemy, The Emperor of Austria. Though their union was politically expedient, Napoleon lived happily and proudly with "my good Louise" until defeat sent him to Elba and she returned to Vienna, eventually becoming the sovereign of an Italian duchy." "Alan Palmer gives the first detailed portrait of this episode in Europe's history. He traces the changing fortunes of France and Austria through the years of Napoleonic ascendancy and eclipse. By using extracts from Louise's letters and travel diaries, he throws light on the conflicting worlds and torn loyalities that perplexed France's young, and often courageous, empress. Personal touches are many and amusing." "Alan Palmer also examines the controversial years in which their son was raised to manhood in Vienna while Louise, with her secret second family, reigned in Parma as a benevolent Duchess, whose cultural legacy has survived into the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
