Napoleon After becoming emperor, the dog and chicken ascended to heaven. In 1807, Jerome was granted the title of Napoleon Westphalia king.
Jerome, the youngest brother of the Bonaparte family, was more obedient than Lucien in getting rid of his wife, because he didn't want to lose everything. In 1803, 19 year old Jerome went Baltimore He got married to an American girl, Elizabeth Patterson, during his trip. When Napoleon learned the news, he issued an order prohibiting his brother from returning home with his bride.

Napoleon wanted his brothers and sisters to marry the most prominent family members in Europe, but one brother had sabotaged his plan, and he could no longer tolerate another brother marrying a civilian to go home. Jerome believed that if his brother could see his wife with his own eyes, he would soften his heart. So he took her back to France by boat to attend Napoleon's coronation ceremony. But on the way, their ship sank in a storm, and they missed the celebration.
At the same time, Napoleon was trying to destroy the marriage. When Jerome and his wife finally arrived in Europe, Elizabeth, who was already pregnant, was told not to stay in Europe, which was the order of the emperor. Angry Jerome left his wife on the shore and started to argue with his brother. In his letter, he said to her, "Take a rest. Your husband will not abandon you. I will dedicate my life to you and the children."

Jerome Bonaparte
Napoleon caught Jerome's instinct to pursue pleasure and seduced him. He said that if Jerome did not give up his wife, no one would repay the high debt he owed, he would lose all titles and status, and had to withdraw from the ranks of heirs, and he would be deported. Jerome, who is used to living a comfortable life, understands his brother's meaning and his cooperative attitude has earned him rich rewards and improved his status. Napoleon even drew one from Germany's independent provinces Westphalia The kingdom was handed over to Jerome.
Jerome treats the New Kingdom as his own playground. As long as he has a sudden idea, no matter how much it costs, he has to act. Westphalia is gradually exhausted by him. This situation gave Napoleon a headache, because he thought he had the right to extort from his brothers' kingdom to maintain his war atrocities on the European continent, but if Jerome was king, he would get nothing. The overburdened people of Westphalia began to rebel under the oppression of the two Bonaparte brothers, and Napoleon had to go to rescue his unfortunate brother.
Emperor Napoleon scolded King Jerome: "Your country has no police, no reserves, no organization and discipline. A man who can only enjoy himself and is too lazy to move his fingers cannot become a king. I really hope that the riots will fall on you, and I hope you can learn a lesson from them." Alas, he just doesn't have a long memory.
