Yes, and Napoleon even adopted it famously during the Winter Campaign of 1814 in Russia. That... May not have worked out as well as I have with the mozzies.

That'd give a person a headache for sure.
Not to mention a case of tinnitus!
Yeah, a good reason to claim some workplace hearing loss compensation.
Not sure if old Boney will be needing that insurance claim, to be honest. I mean, he is the Emperor of the French.
I've been to where he is laid to rest, in Paris. His casket is immense and is set high so people on the same level have to look up to it from ground level. There's a big circular viewing platform over the top but he had it designed so that to look over at the casket fully one has to lean in a bowing motion. Talk about insecurities.
Also, here's the old boys chair.
Wow, regal all the way to the end, eh? That chair looks a lot more modest than I expected, though I imagine there's probably some gold in there somewhere.
He was a small man and so I think the small un-thronelike chair was designed to make him seem larger than he was. He'd get lost on a throne...Little bugger that he was.
