From the time that Napoleon Bonaparte died in 1821, rumors were rampant that the twice-abdicated Emperor of France was poisoned. Such claims of foul play persisted until recently, when modern medical experts determined the military leader’s true cause of death — gastric cancer. Thanks to that research, theories that Napoleon was murdered have been put to rest — but what were his final months really like?

In his final years, after nearly escaping to the U.S., Napoleon was sent into exile on the remote island of St Helena. It’s on this tiny island in the South Atlantic where Napoleon would live out his remaining days. So how did he really live them out? In delirious, painful fervor or luxuries galore? Stay tuned to find out what the final months of Napoleon’s life were like!
