During Napoleon’s initial campaign in Italy,
Elisa married a nobleman from Corsica. At
that stage Napoleon was just a general, so his
initial reticence about her choice was based
on her husband’s doubtful reputation as an
army captain. As Emperor Napoleon made
Elisa the Princess of Piombino and Lucca in
Italy. Four years later she also became the
Grand Duchess of Tuscany.
