Lindy pls

Maybe not institute a hereditary dynastic system (and its impose it on other nations) and establish an elective republican consulship (or life? or 10 years) based on "merit" instead

To what extent did Napoleon's First French Empire resemble the Ancien RĂ©gime?

Killing the Duc d'Enghien was totally justified and England was just buttmad.

How his birth was postponed so to legitimize a foreigner as the leader of France

His personal involvment in the battles and later, his lack thereoff.

It would be inetresting to read:
1. A summary of Archduke Charles' opinions of Napoleons and to rate the success of his military reforms post austerlitz and then a new opinion of Napoleon after his second defeat

2. Francis private feelings vs political leanings leading up to the decision after 1812 to wage a new war against his son-in-law Napoleon. What would have seen him come down on Napoleon's side? Could moderate Napoleonic reforms have saved the Dynasty from its collapse a mere 100 years and 2 rulers later?

3. A summary of his political contributions to the conseil d'etat which was the legislative and debating body of his consular government which ahd little power but he took its advice seriously.

4. Political and religions thoughts behind his decision to repair relations with the church

Something on how he became so incredibly popular so quickly, and how his legend Endures far more heavily than Frederick, Catherine or Josef.

depends who's reading
for the common people i would insert interesting short stories
e.g:
moustache, the dog
the feats of bravery and defiance of the old guard (whose loyalty could never be bought like this episode after the first exile of napoleon shows: "Another royalist, Chateaubraind had noticed how the veterans had "pulled their bearskins down over their eyes and presented arms with a gesture of fury."
Chateaubriand related that when several weeks later "the King passed, the grenadiers of Old Guard bared their teeth like tigers. When they presented arms they did so with a movement of fury, and with a noise which filled the onlookers with terror.")

or even about the man himself - you have a lot to say about him and a pretty interesting topic is his late childhood when he goes to france and gets bullied for speaking with corsican accent and how he cared only about very specific subjects like geography and history - which could be an indicator of his future plans.

How would writing about British depictions of Napoleon sound? Is there a lot of secondary reading regarding the subject?

There is Napoleon: A Life/Napoleon the Great, by Andrew Roberts

Remember seeing that in Waterstones when I last went. Might have to pick it up.
