Napoleon Bonaparte did not actually lose his right hand; this is a popular myth. He often posed with his hand tucked into his coat, which led to speculation about an injury. In reality, he suffered from various ailments during his life, but his right hand remained intact until his death. The myth may have been perpetuated by artists and caricaturists of the time.

Yes, Napoleon does happen to be left handed. In several paintings of the Emperor it shows his scabbard on his right hip, indicating he wold pull it out with his left hand.

Napoleon also possesses left handed qualities such as Intuitive, Visual-Spacial Ability, Lateral Thinking, Impatience, and Iconoclasm.
