A track from Histrocore’s album Rise of Napoleon.
Historical background
Rise of Napoleon follows the era in which a French revolutionary general became an emperor and reshaped the balance of power in Europe. Napoleon was crowned Emperor of the French in 1804.
In central Europe, the period also saw Francis II establish the Austrian Empire and, in 1806, relinquish the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. Those changes help explain why the imperial title mattered during the Napoleonic wars.
