It is commonly believed that Napoleon was really short - 157 cm

This figure is obtained by translating the value of 5 feet 2 inches into the metric system. However, at that time feet were not only English feet, but practically every country had different feet.

If translated from French feet, Napoleon's height is 169 centimeters, an average for his era.
