Josephine de Beauharnais. She was born on the island in 1763 and went on to marry Napoleon I and become Empress of France. Josephine lived on the island with her family until 1799.
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.
