This is the third and final episode of the Historical Sketches series covering Napoleon's flight from Waterloo in June 1815 and concluding with his arrival at St. Helena in October of the same year.

This is the second episode of Napoleon's flight after the defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815. We follow his travel from a remote country town in Northern France up to Paris where he takes shelter in the castle beonging to his ex-wide Josephine de Beauharneais. Maybe the Paris government will re-instate him and ask him to continue the fight against the European Allied Forces, that are at the door of Paris. But this is not to be and here, in the castle of Malmaison, Napoleon and company decide to escape to the United States, which it was not to be.

We all know that Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo. Less known is his rocanbolesque escape from the field of the lost battle to the French West Coast.

After an introduction about the series, in this episode we will follow Napoleon and his restricted court to the town of Berry-au-Bac, where momentous decisions were taken.
