About Napoleon’s height

It’s considered that Napoleon Bonaparte was short, about 157 cm high. We get this very figure when the height of 5 feet 2 inches is converted to the metric system. But on the other hand at that time there were not only English feet, almost in every country feet differed from each other. If we convert the French feet the height of Napoleon will be 169 cm (5.6 ft) which can be considered average for that time.
