Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 – 1821)

Napoleon was a strong strategist and a visionary statesman, but he could not relinquish power and ultimately succumbed to his own greatness. Arnout met the Emperor of France (Stefaan Degand) in 1815 in the village of Ligny, two days before his final campaign. Afterwards, Arnout stood silently beside Napoleon at Waterloo as his army was crushed. Napoleon's dream ended with a defeat that stripped him of his last vestige of power.
