Please, the English have already skewed the public's view of Napoleon's enough. Let's not start saying that he died in battle. He died as a fat, average height fuck with a small case of senility on a small island. Another myth is that he was short. In fact, He was around 5'6" but the French and the English had different measurement systems at the time so the English government knowingly spread the rumor to hurt his reputation. So in short(sorry for the pun), Napoleon did not have a Napoleonic complex.
