The first Duke of Wellington was about 5 ft. 10 inches, but he was very thin and slender and stooped a lot, so he appeared shorter.
I took Lana's comment as another reason to put down someone who was famous. Actually the rep for Napoleon's supposed short height was due British propaganda that still holds sway today. I was in London for the 200 anniversary memorial of the Battle of Waterloo. One of the things mentioned there was that Napoleon's map of the battlefield was incorrect and that the British forces were not where the French thought they were. Also it was just the British Napoleon was up against, it was the Kaiser too.
Great story though with many many villains. Looking forward to more.
