♥~JOSEPHINE
AND NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ~♥~Napoleon's greatest love would come from the
Caribbean island of Martinique. Napoleon never went there, but this
woman's father, Joseph Gaspard Tascher de la Pagerie, owned a sugar
plantation, complete with slaves, on the island. The family had
significant wealth and power, and the children led a very comfortable
life in an idyllic location.
Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de la
Pagerie was born on June 23, 1763. If you noticed that there is no
"Josephine" in her name, you may wonder how that name came about. Her
friends and family had always called her Rose, but Napoleon, never
content to just go with the flow, called her Josephine (from Josèphe),
and that is how she will be forever known.
