1. He Was Once Attacked by a Horde of Rabbits
In 1807, after signing the Treaty of Tilsit, Napoleon Bonaparte celebrated with a grand rabbit hunt. His chief of staff, Alexandre Berthier, sourced over 3,000 domesticated rabbits for the event. Upon release, instead of fleeing, the hungry rabbits charged toward Napoleon and his party, overwhelming them. The Emperor was forced to retreat to his carriage, with some rabbits even entering it. This unexpected incident became a source of amusement and embarrassment for Napoleon (ripleys.com).
