Life After Napoleon
Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte
Third son of Hortense Bonaparte, daughter of
Napoleon Is first wife, Josephine Not sure who
his father really is, Mom was a loose Woman,
but is assumed to be Louis Bonaparte, a younger
brother of Napoleon I -therefore-
Charles Louis is Napoleons step-grandson because
Hortense was Napoleons step-daughter
(Josephines daughter) -and- He is also
Napoleons nephew because Louis Bonaparte was
Napoleons brother ..got all that?
