Dear Akiko,
While still a student, Hugh would already have been suffering from a jealous rage, such as Napoleonīs might have been because..did not Bonaparteīs second wife Marie Louise betray him and bear two children from Count Neipperg?
The answer to this question is yes and no. Marie Louise did "betray" the exiled Napoleon with Neipperg, who was to become after Napoleon's death her morganatic husband. She did refuse to join Napoleon in Elba & he threatened to have her forcibly abducted. That seems to have ended the marriage for all intents and purposes.
However in his will, Napoleon spoke of his child bride with tenderness and forgave her. Her children with Neipperg were born after Napoleon's death. She was again widowed and again remarried.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Marie Louise, because the story of her arranged marriage with Napoleon, whom she had been raised to regard as the Antichrist, is such a marvelous "Beauty and the Beast" story.
