NAPOLEON II
1811 - 1832


Napoleon II was in full Napoléon-François-Charles-Joseph Bonaparte, son of famous Napoleon I and Maria Luisa of Austria.

His father made him king of Rome as a birth present but that went down the drain when Napoleon Senior abdicated in 1814.

In 1818, Napoleon II was made Duke of Reichstadt by the Austrians who had pity.

The Duke of Reichstadt died of tuberculosis at age 21.
