Napoleon's height was about 5' 6", which was average for the time

He really wasn't all that short, although he's often said be be 5'2" because the French measure of inches differs from that of the English system. For the time, he was just about average height, although some sources believe the average height in his army was only 5'-0"or 152cm.
