Coherence
Napoleon certainly made a change for the worse by leaving his small kingdom of Elba. He went back to Paris and he abdicated for a second time. He fled to Rochefort in hope of escaping to America. He gave himself up to the English captain of the ship Bellerophon. He suggested that the Prince Regent grant him asylum, and he was refused. All he saw of England was the Devon coast and Plymouth Sound as he passed on to the remote island of St. Helena. He died on 5 May 1821 at the age of fifty-two.
