Referenced multiple times throughout the episode. First mentioned as someone 'who love[s] Napoleon,' then cited directly regarding Josephine's possible PTSD ('Andrew Roberts says he thinks she was suffering... post-traumatic stress disorder'), and again when discussing intimate details ('Andrew Roberts discusses, says he doesn't know what it is, which is called the zigzags'). These references are to Roberts' Napoleon biography.
