This morning’s ride on Bruno and I should feel like a Paget, Ponsonby, Dixon or Shaw, stoic and British. But instead I’m out here yelling “Come and see how a marshal of France meets his death!” Feeling like a gallant Gallic cuirassier. Vive l’Empereur?! I think I need help! 🇫🇷🐎

Very excited to be Chalke History Festival on Tuesday talking about ‘toxic love’ across history alongside the peerless Dr Estelle Paranque & Dr Eleanor Janega . Expect Napoleon to get a verbal battering for the way he treated Josephine.
