		On the introduction of the Empire Bernadotte became one of the eighteen Marshals of France, and, from June 1804 to September 1805, he acted as governor of the recently-occupied Hanover.

		The second period of Bernadotte's career started well, he performed well at Austerlitz and earned his princedom, but his military star was on the wane and in 1807 he again faced dismissal.
		Smarting from the dressing down he got from Bonaparte, Bernadotte successfully chased General Blucher's Prussians and forced the fierce warrior to surrender at Lubeck.
		In 1818, Bernadotte became King Charles XIV of Sweden and, while regarded as a traitor by the French, began a long new royal dynasty that is still in existence today.

		Bernadotte eventually became king of Sweden when his adoptive father died and the bloodline that he and Desiree Clary began still exists in Sweden today.
		Third, Desiree met and married Bernadotte while she was still pretty young; from my calculations she was around the age of 21 and yes, she was quite a bit younger than Bernadotte.

		On March 3, 1813, the island of Guadeloupe was ceded by Britain to "His Royal Majesty the King of Sweden, and his successor to the Swedish throne" according to the Act of Succession of September 26, 1810.
		This was supposedly in order to keep the Crown Prince "at least partially compensated for the donations and other property, which he had lost as a since being called to the succession of the Swedish throne" and as a consequence of Sweden's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars.
		Under his adoptive father, the reigning and yet powerless King Charles XIII of Sweden, the Crown Prince was effectively the regent of the country, and when Sweden sided with Napoleon's enemies, Bernadotte came to be seen as a traitor to his native France.
