Death of Napoleon I

The death of Napoleon I took place on May 5, 1821, at Longwood on the island of St. Helena, during his exile, at the age of 51. It was due to stomach cancer, resulting from the aggravation of an ulcer. From the 1950s onwards, some authors, mostly from the Anglo-Saxon world, disputed this version, proposing a criminal cause following arsenic poisoning. This thesis is refuted by historians specializing in Napoleon I, such as Professor Jean Tulard from Sorbonne and Sciences Po, Thierry Lentz and Patrice Gueniffey.
