Josephine de Beauharnais (1763-1814) was the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, and thus the first Empress of France. Her husband Alexandre de Beauharnais was guillotined during the Reign of Terror. She did not bear Napoleon any children and as a result he divorced her in 1810 to marry Marie Louise of Austria, although he still held her in high regard.
