Balls at the Theater San Carlo were social events of the season, especially the masked balls. The king and queen enjoyed costuming themselves, though at Caroline’s insistence neither ever wore masks. Caroline and Murat entertained frequently and lavishly. Nobles, officials, and military officers followed the example of the monarchs—some happily, like Prince Pignatelli, who spent 50,000 francs on a single ball—some grudgingly, like Marshal Pérignon, commandant of Naples, at whose affairs there was little wine and sometimes no food. Premiers at the theaters and opera were occasions, though Murat was apt to doze. His real passion was hunting— pheasant at Caserta, ducks at Lake Agnano, deer on the Volturno. The pace was exhausting, but wine flowed and feasts were lavish. And a veritable pageant surrounded the king, who took as his hunting costume the uniform of his heroes—the Gascon musketeers of Francis I. Never was he happier or a better host than in the country.

While Caroline liked and cultivated the nobility, Murat distrusted and felt ill at ease with them, Despite the elegance of his retinue, he remained, emotionally, something of a crowned Jacobin, and enjoyed mingling with his people. Occasionally he went walking incognito, to the delight of the lazzaroni, who never failed to recognize him, but happily played his game with him, dropping outrageous flatteries of “the king” as they talked.

Fellas, I am at it again - trying to convince you Villefort is more attractive than you thought. Jk, I just wanted to redraw an illustration of him. Here's side by side two images. It was fun to draw

“Perhaps after thousands of years some wonderfully shrewd schoolmaster in a fearfully profound dissertation will prove beyond cavil, that Napoleon Bonaparte was identical with that other Titan who stole fire from the gods, and who for this trespass was chained to a solitary rock in the midst of the sea, as a prey to a vultue, which day by day gnawed away at his heart.”

— Heinrich Heine, Travel Pictures (1826)

concept: reality TV show where each episode is a recreation of one CPS meeting up til 1795. most terrible (in all senses of the word)

anything that happened outside these meetings is told in the form of a flashback scene but it's from the POV of someone who's probably a liar

"I don't want to sign this document." (dramatic music starts playing)

non-CPS member characters randomly barge into the meetings to start stuff. not ahistorical at all

attempted defenestrations every episode. nobody faces any consequences for this

instead of fighting over who has more money they fight over who has more virtue

“We have a note from an anonymous Bremen townsman: "Murat seemed a friend of good cuisine, and after Talleyrand, for whose household many eggs had to be delivered, his table was particularly full.”

Found this interesting bit in a text about french army in Brno, food shortages during the war and about the overall impact of Austerlitz

Something for @joachimnapoleon 😉

A conversation between Napoleon and a deputy from Liberec (1813)

a.k.a. Napoleon’s opinion on Francis II

————————

N - Napoleon

D - the deputy

N: Then, does the emperor want the war just because of his sympathies towards Russia and Prussia?

D: We are not competent to answer this question.

N: No, he does not want it! Metternich! Metternich, Metternich (he exclaimed fiercely and bitterly)! HE wants the war. Your emperor was fooled!

D: If he was deceived, then we pity him greatly. He does not deserve it.

N: No, he’s good.

D: Truly good, Your Highness; he’s loyally loved by his people.

N: His own daughter reproached him because it was pointless. He’s the head of a great force directed against him.

D: It is sad, Your Highness, that a daughter must stand up against her own father.

N: But what do the Austrians want?

——————————-

They also call Berthier “the secretary” 😂

Just a bit of this very interesting dialogue.
