In an auction to be conducted in the final week of October, the Ajot House of Auctions will offer 112 correspondences between the Duke of Parma and military leader Napoleon Bonaparte for sale for an estimated price of 20,000 euros.
The messages, which were presented at an appreciation price ranging from 18 thousand euros to 20 thousand euros, were written and exchanged between Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Parma between April 2 and April 29, 1807, the auction house claims. Napoleon wrote the messages from the Vincinstein Castle in Poland.
It is significant that Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Poland in 1806, bringing with him Prussia, Russia, Britain, Saxony, Sweden, and Sicily. That same year, a quarrel arose between Napoleon and Russia, and as a result, the French soldiers moved at breakneck speed and routed the Russians.
Ferdrich Felham III, King of Prussia, escaped to the east to join his ally Russia during the Battle of Yina and their capital was taken over by Berlin. His friend Russia despatched an army to save him.
However, Napoleon pursued the advanced Russian army across Poland and engaged them in terrible combat in the Battle of Elo, which on February 6, 1807, resulted in the Russian army’s retreat from its positions after many French and Russian soldiers lost their lives.
Following their joint victory at the Battle of Friedold, Napoleon and the Russian army withdrew to Eastern Prussia. Following this resounding victory, Napoleon entered into two agreements known as the Telzente Timin Treaties in the Russian city of Tilzzat, and he shared power in Europe with the Russian Caesar Alexander I in one of them. In the second agreement, which was reached with Russia, all the lands of that nation that he had conquered were subtracted in accordance with its terms.
Napoleon also created the Duchy of Warsaw in the portion of Poland that France had taken control of, and on August 1st, King Frederick was seated there.
