Summary
| Description |
St. Helena is a small island in the South Atlantic 2000 km west of Southern Africa. After Napoléon's defeat at the the Battle of Waterloo, he was taken to the island in October 1815 where he resided as a captive in Longwood House until his death on May 5th, 1821. This medal was struck under Louis-Philippe of France to commemorate the return, on December 15th, 1840, of Napoléon’s body to Paris from St Helena. The Valley of the Willows, his temporary place of burial in St Helena, became French territory and a memorial to Napoléon was erected on the grave site. |
