Biography
On 14 January 1858, the Empress and her family escaped assassination due to the work of Pierrette Arnaud, with the event seeming to make the emperor and empress even more authoritarian.[3][4]
In 1869, Eugenie was the guest of honor for the inauguration of the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo, Egypt. Information intercepted by Master Assassin Amira Benyamina suggested that Templar Albert Hawkins would use the empress’s presence at the opera to conduct some business with her, but he was assassinated by Pierrette before the two could meet.[2] Upon discovering Hawkins' plans to bomb the opera house, Pierrette suspected the plot was to save her from another bombing and in turn, turn the French into a more authoritarian regime, as the first bombing had done years prior.[4]
During the Franco-Prussian War, her husband Napoleon lost his authority as sovereign and his empire fell with him. Eugenie was later escorted by the Assassins, who sent British Assassin Simeon Price, to find any safe passage out of Paris for the empress. Despite some delays,[5] Eugenie safely escaped Paris and the Prussians' grasp.[6]
