My Grandfather Met Napoleon: Bertrand Russell Interview 1952
Bertrand’s grandfather, John Russell, 1st Earl Russell (18 August 1792 – 28 May 1878), served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1846 to 1852 and again from 1865 to 1866. In December, 1814, he had a 90-minute meeting with Napoleon during the former emperor’s exile at Elba. In June 1815, Russell denounced the Bourbon Restoration and Britain’s declaration of war against the recently-returned Napoleon by arguing in the House of Commons that foreign powers had no right to dictate France’s form of government.
