Napoleon’s final exile on Saint Helena and his death in 1821.
Historical background
After Waterloo, Britain sent Napoleon to Saint Helena, a remote island in the South Atlantic. He lived under British supervision at Longwood House and spent part of his exile dictating recollections of his career.
Napoleon died on 5 May 1821. His years on the island became part of the story later told about him, helped by published accounts from those who had shared his exile.
