Napoléon Bonaparte. It's about time I dove into history, and what better person to do a video on than Napoleon. Please refer to my notes below for some more historical context and extra information, but for now... let me lead you into this video on Le Petit Caporal:
If you haven't already been interested in Napoleon, then the upcoming Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott movie is probably gonna do it, so... let me chime in and give you a biography on Napoleon — not that it's needed, since Napoleon Bonaparte is the most written about person outside of religious figures, which... kind of makes him the actually most written about person. Napoleon was one of history's greatest conquerors — and not short, by the way — and literally an anime character come to life: From humble beginnings to being the most powerful person in the world — if Napoleon's life were a movie, you'd call it out for being unrealistic. Yet here we are, ready for the first episode of my new series:

Episode 1 of Blood — The Period(s) Of Conquerors
Le Petit Caporal: Napoléon Bonaparte

Notes:
There are some things I didn't touch on in this video, because there is only so much of Napoléon you can pack into 30 minutes, but... here are two things I would have loved to include so I am adding them here:
First: Napoleon was actually born as Napoleone Buonaparte and his first language was Corsican — he would always retain an accent when speaking French.
The other thing is that I don't really discuss the Peninsular Wars: Spain & Portugal vs Napoléon. They really would have blown this video out of proportion, so... just do know that it really went down on the peninsula.

Get All My Artwork & Support The Channel:
I get a lot of questions about my artwork and where it’s from or rather who draws it. Well the answer is that I create it — I don’t draw it. I use AI to create the artwork, using specific prompts, specific style influences from 18th and 19th century artists, and I spend about 6 hours per video just on the artwork. Each video has roughly double the artwork of what you actually see in the video, so a lot of it is unused. The good news here though is that you can get all that artwork on my Patreon — the artwork I do use, and the artwork I don’t use. Plus, by subscribing to my Patreon you are making a major contribution to Briefed and helping me to keep this channel going, because this is my full time job and the survival of the channel and quality of the videos greatly depends on said support. In return for supporting, you get more than the artwork though — you also get exclusive videos and producer credit, as well as access to a producer group that gets to vote on thumbnails, gets behind the scenes etc.
If you choose to become a Patron — thank you. I do not take it for granted.
