It is true that Josephine was standing on a first-floor balcony which collapsed, and that the accident caused her serious injury.
The reader goes on to say that Josephine had "just ended an affair with the Chevalier de Coigny." Although Bruce hints at this, what she in fact states is simply that the Chevalier de Coigny had been mentioned as one of Josephine's admirers.
The account of Josephine's "panicked" journey to Martinique and the suggestion that she was pregnant at the time is only one of many stories about her that continue to be repeated without (in my view) a critical reevaluation of the original sources.
