Answer 2

• Napoleon died in 1821 and had requested in his will to be buried "by the banks of the Seine, surrounded by the French people, whom I love so dearly" The British however did not allow this to happen and buried him.

• However, later King Louis Philippe wanted to boost his popularity using the reputation of Napoleon with the French. In 1890 a carriage led by King Philippe's son was sailed to St Helena and after confirming the identity the French transferred Napoleon's remains up river Seine in Hotel des Invalides in Paris a traditional place for burying French military heroes.
