link ‘Napoleonic fever'
The return of Napoleon's remains to the city in 1840, nineteen years after he died in exile, also sent ripples through the city's insane asylums. Coming at a time of nostalgia for France's past greatness, the event sparked an epidemic of delusions of grandeur, Murat discovered. One doctor reported admitting 14 "emperors" to his asylum. Exasperated caregivers bemoaned how belligerent these "Napoleons" were, and that they expected to be obeyed like despots.
