How did Napoleon get arsenic in his hair?

(My answer from Quora)

If a person goes through the memoirs of Napoleon, they will clearly see that there was a group extremely determined to kill him.

When Napoleon was cornered in 1815 up against all the autocrats and their friends, he gave himself up to the government that was behind most of the plots to kill him (the English government).

Now some people will tell you with a sense of authority about them a lot of plausible deniability “facts” that it is ridiculous to think Napoleon was poisoned by his captors - the group that had tried to murder him for decades.

I think it is ridiculous to think that once the English government had captured him, they changed their policy into a “let’s wait for Napoleon to die of natural causes” policy.

Basically, I have been broadcasting these memoirs because I am really am tired of all the disinformation about Napoleon.

What made Napoleon so famous?

(My answer from Quora)

Napoleon was so famous because he had the courage and the talent to stand up to the oppressive autocrats of Europe who had held the people back under a quasi-slavery now called feudalism.

Some people in power are very threatened by his example so they twist his story - making him only more famous. Some people like me are tired of all the lies so we talk about him - which makes him more famous.

Napoleon was a fascinating study in contradictions and a real life paladin.
