Napoleon Bonaparte was a military and political leader during the latter stages of the French Revolution. As Napoleon I, Napoleon Bonaparte was Emperor of the French from 1804 to 1815. His legal reform, the Napoleonic Code, has been a major influence on many civil law jurisdictions worldwide, but he is best remembered for the wars he led against a series of coalitions, the so-called Napoleonic Wars, during which he established hegemony over much of Europe and sought to spread revolutionary ideals.

 

The Napoleonic code was adopted throughout much of Europe, though only in the lands he conquered, and remained in force after Napoleon's defeat. Napoleon said: "My true glory is not to have won 40 battles...Waterloo will erase the memory of so many victories. ... But...what will live forever, is my Civil Code.

In February 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte's health began to fail rapidly, and on 3 May two British physicians who had recently arrived attended him and could only recommend palliatives. Napoleon Bonaparte died two days later, after confession, Extreme Unction and Viaticum in the presence of Father Ange Vignali. Napoleon's original death mask was created around 6 May, though it is not clear which doctor created it.
