As I have mentioned before, I believe that the middle ages were not as dirty as commonly believed. It's good to read that the belief isn't all that common among scholars. And why do people actually admire Napoleon? A great man, a great leader? Certainly. But a man who caused the deaths of millions to satisfy his ego. Give me Wellington or Archduke Charles any day.
