The Imperial Family of France (Bonapartes)

[Kristallinchen]

Napoleon V Victor (1879-1926) was the grandson of Napoleon I's brother, Jerome Bonaparte. Victor, Prince Napoleon was appointed head of the house of Bonaparte at the age of 18 in the will of Napoleon Eugene, Prince Imperial, who died in 1879.

I've always been fond of the love story between and Princess Clementine of Belgium. How they were denied to marry and had to wait for the death of Leopold II.

On November 14, 1910, Princess Clementine married Prince Victor Napoleon at Moncalieri, near Turin. Prince Victor was forty-eight years of age at the time of the wedding. He and Princess Clementine had had a secret betrothal.

Emperor Napoleon I created his sister, Elisa Bonaparte Princess of Piombino, a seaport of Tuscany, and later granted her the former republic of Lucca.

When he met Tsar Alexander I in 1808 Napoleon I insisted that he must have the largest palace because he had brought the largest suite.

Emperor Napoleon I initiated a regular schedule of receptions for ambassadors, senators, generals, and other dignitaries. Every two weeks a grand parade of troops took place.

Sounds like as much the former General Napoleon Bounaparte once hated the monarchy he was very much enjoying it's benefits later on.

Once a week, Emperor Napoleon I's librarian would be summoned to attend him with recently published books for him to glance through. Napoleon would throw on the floor the books which did not interest him. He would put aside one or two books to read.
