   • Napoleon Did Not Come From Nothing Nor Did He Conquer Everything. Napoleon Was Born Into Minor Corsican Nobility & He Never Invaded England. Dan Snow was one of the first to point out a bit of misleading marketing in the promotional poster of Napoleon, which featured a large slogan that read, "He came from nothing.
   • Josephine Was Terrified Of Being Divorced From Napoleon. She Would Never Have Suggested It As She Did In Ridley Scott's Film. One of Josephine's lines in Ridley Scott's film was reportedly out of character, according to Broers (via TIME).
   • Napoleon’s Mother Likely Didn’t Stage A Bedding Incident. Napoleon Already Had Several Illegitimate Children. Napoleon's mother Letizia likely did not stage the bedding incident between her son and a young woman to determine whether he was infertile.
   • Napoleon Was Six Years Younger Than Josephine. Joaquin Phoenix Is 14 Years Older Than Vanessa Kirby. One of the most noticeable inaccuracies in Ridley Scott's Napoleon is the age gap between Phoenix and Kirby.
