Napoleon II, duke von Reichstadt
- Napoleon II, duke von Reichstadt
-
orig. Napoléon-François-Charles-Joseph Bonaparte
died July 22, 1832, Schönbrunn, Austria
The only son of
Napoleon and
Marie-Louise, he was born during Napoleon's reign as emperor and styled "King of Rome.
" On Napoleon's abdication (1814), Marie-Louise took her son to live at the court of her father,
Emperor Francis II, rather than allow him to remain in France as the focus of resistance as Napoleon II. Given the Austrian title of duke of Reichstadt, he was controlled by Klemens, prince von
Metternich. In 1830 Bonapartist insurgents attempted to restore Reichstadt as Napoleon II, but he was already ill with tuberculosis, which would kill him.
