Anna Antonia was involved in the siege of Paris, surviving on rats. She escaped from Paris, with her jewellery tucked into her corsets, to
England where she and Melchior set up a guest house. They were visited by Napoleon and Eugénie, who apparently stayed without contribution to the household, and bled them dry before moving on, having used the wealth they had left.
( Story from Heather Learmouth recalling what she had been told by her grandmother ).
[Not possible, as Anna and her parents were born in Berlin, Germany, but it could be her forebears on the Bardou line were involved in the Siege of Paris.]

Eugénie (1826-1920), Empress of France (1853-1871). Born in Spain of a Spanish father and an American mother, she was originally named Eugenia Maria de Montijo de Guzman. Eugénie was educated in Paris at the convent of the Sacr?-Coeur. In 1851 she appeared in Parisian society and was soon noticed by the French Emperor Napoleon III, whom she married in 1853. The emperor generally consulted Eugénie on important questions, and she acted as regent during his absences. She supported the ill-fated expedition to place Maximilian of Austria on the throne of Mexico. Opposed to the curtailment of the temporal power of the pope and to the fulfillment of democratic constitutional ideas, she blocked the plans of her husband for the liberation of Italy. When the Second Empire was overthrown after France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), she and her husband took refuge in England, where she continued to live after his death in 1873.

A notable landmark of Farnborough is St Michael's Abbey, a Benedictine foundation built in 1881 by the Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III of France, after their exile to Great Britain. Napoleon, Eugénie, and their son, the Prince Imperial, are buried in the abbey crypt.
