People often believe that Napoleon is very short, Einstein got bad grade in school, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb or humans evolved from monkeys. However, these ideas actually are most common misconceptions.
Napoleon was short
Napoleon was often said to be a short man but the rumor is not true because of two major reasons. Firstly, the misconception comes from difference between French feet and British feet. Actually, he was measured 5 French feet 2inches or 5 British feet 6.5inches or 1.69m after his death in 1821. It meant that Napoleon slightly taller than the average Frenchman of the 19th century. Besides, his height was also compared with the height of security guards who were high enough to protect him.
