Defeat at Paris
Just grabbed the book sourced off my bookshelf, and it says the following (apologies for any typos):

"On 12 March, the Russians defeated Masrhal Marmont outside Paris. Napoleonm had ordered Empress Marie-Louise, his three-year-old son the king of Rome and her councillors to leave the city, but Talleyrand, seeing himself as a regent for hte baby king, begged her to stay. Instead she abandoned Paris and ruined her son's prospect of keeping the throne. On 18 March, the city surrendered."

The source goes on to say that Alexander entered the city the following morning, having received the surrender at 2am, where he stayed for several weeks. Marianna251TALK 10:29, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Oops, forgot to say that the source is "Montefiore, Simon Sebag (2016). The Romanovs 1613–1918. Orion Publishing Group Ltd. ISBN 978 0 297 85266 7." The other dates were incorrect, according to that book, so I've updated them - apologies, hadn't noticed the contradiction before! Marianna251TALK 10:39, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi - that's actually 18 March in the old Russian Calendar:

 * The battle was definitely 30-31 March:

 * Ah, fair enough. Irritatingly, the source I used didn't mention anything about calendar differences. Thanks for the clarification! Marianna251TALK 16:28, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
