| Summary |
A regiment of French soldiers were sent by King Louis XVIII to intercept Napoleon once he escaped from his exile on Elba. When he saw them, Napoleon dismounted and offered himself to them. Instead of killing him, the soldiers rallied around their former emperor and marched with him back to Paris. This ushered in the period called the Hundred Days, in which Napoleon briefly resumed power before he was finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo. |
