Question: How tall is Napoleon Bonaparte!?
I want to know how tall was Napoleon Bonaparte, I really want to know if he is as short as anyone else talk about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The French inch of the time equalled 2!.71 centimetres, while the Imperial inch is 2!.54 centimeters!. Napoleon's height was put at around 5 ft 2 ins by three French sources (his valet Constant, General Gourgaud, and Francesco Antommarchi at Napoleon's autopsy) which on the French scale equals around 1!.68 meters!. By contrast, two English sources (Andrew Darling and John Foster) put his height at around 5 ft 7 ins, equivalent, on the Imperial scale, to about 1!.70 meters!. This would have made him slightly taller than the average Frenchman of the time!. He also surrounded himself with the soldiers of his elite guard, who were usually six feet or taller!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

5'6", I believe!. Interesting tidbit: to view his grave, you have to bend over a railing as the grave is tucked inside a depression!. He did this on purpose so that people will bow to him even after death!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
