Despite an indifferent career at military school, created an enormous Empire for France stretching from Spain to Russia: crowned as Napoleon I in 1804. His monument is of porphyry from Finland: inside it the body of the Emperor is contained in a series of six coffins of tin, mahogany, lead (2), ebony, and a last one of oak. He is buried in uniform with his hat across his legs. (bio by: David Conway)
