-I think in addition to this, we should include links to Wikipedia under External Links, and add a section on each page entitled: "Differences from Historical Events", and then list how the character has acted differently from his historical counterpart. - Almaron

A Polish countess

In chapter 2 of 'Empire of Ivory' Jane said:

“But that aside—well, we hear he has made a very good friend in Warsaw, a Polish countess they say is a raving beauty (...)"

The Polish countess was Maria Walewska (7 December 1786 – 11 December 1817; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Walewska - in English and https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Walewska - in Polish!).

Altough name is not used, romance started in January 1807, which provides time for events in the chapter. Moreover, Napoleon fathered son of Maria Walewska, born 4 May 1810, which was proof that Josephine was barren, while Napoleon was fertile. This was reason for divorce with Josephine, which is important for the plot of 'Crucible of Gold'.

Is this enough to add Maria Walewska to Historical Figures?
