Napoleon had one mistress during his conquest in Egypt. Later he felt guilty about this on his return to France and thought that the only resolution was to divorce his wife Josephine. He was unable to, however, because when he returned to their home his wife had left with their children to go meet him on his way home. He locked himself in their room and when Josephine arrived home with the children he told her then. He, of course, was heartbroken by this. He then took back his decision when he heard his wife and children crying. After he became emperor, he then divorced Josephine to marry an Austrian princess for political reasons. At this point he acquired several mistresses.
