During the revolution she was married to Alexandre, vicomte de Beauharnais who was arrested in 1794 because he was suspected of supporting the aristocracy. He was guillotined for it and Josephine was imprisoned. 5 days after her husband was murdered, she was released because Maximilien Robespierre was guillotined and the reign of terror had come to an end. She met Napoleon 1 year later.
