Summary "Mémoires du duc de Rovigo, pour servir à l'histoire de l'empereur Napoléon" is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The memoirs provide a detailed and personal perspective on the political and military events surrounding the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, particularly focusing on the tumultuous period leading to the fall of Paris. This work sheds light on the intrigues, decisions, and key figures involved in this significant historical moment. The opening of the memoir recounts the departure of Empress Marie-Louise from Paris amidst the impending threat of enemy forces closing in on the city. The atmosphere is one of urgency and indecision, with the prince Joseph and other officials apprehensive about the consequences of her departure. The narrative also captures the emotional turmoil of the situation, as seen in the reluctance of the young King of Rome to leave his home, expressing a child's loyalty to his father, Napoleon. As various figures debate strategies to defend the capital, feelings of despair and impending doom permeate the text, foreshadowing the historical turning point that is to follow.
