The Bonaparte family's home in Ajaccio was a big building that was comfortable for Napoleon and his brothers and sisters. All were born on the first floor of the the house except Joseph. Napoleon was Born: August 15th 1769 in Ajaccio, Corsia.
Napoleon was exiled for the first time by the Allied governments to Elba after his abdication at Fontainebleau and landed on the island on May 4th 1814. He began his exile with a reform of the governmental system on the island, which is Italy's third biggest and lies just off the coast of Tuscany.
Napoleon was sent into his final exile on the island of St. Helena, where he Died: 5th May 1821. His body was returned to Paris in 1840, and his tomb remains an attraction. Napoleon died of an unidentified cause, possibly stomach cancer; because traces of arsenic were later found in his body, some have said he might of been fatally poisoned.
