Napoleon Bonaparte was a French Political Leader and commander.
The height of Napoleon was 5 feet 7 inches (170.5cm). This measurement was recorded in memoirs of M Darling, carpenter of Sainte-Helen who was appointed to construct Napoleon's coffin. I think that we can consider this measure as completely correct.-- Colonel MacCarthy (Musee de L'Armee Adviser)
