Napoléon Victor Bonaparte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Napoléon V, Prince Imperial (Victor Jérôme Frédéric Bonaparte) (July 18, 1862 - May 3, 1926) was the son of Prince Napoleon and Marie Clothilde of Sardinia, daughter of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy.
He was appointed head of the house of Bonaparte in the will of Napoléon Eugène, Prince Imperial, who died in 1879, and so became Napoleon V to his supporters, though his younger brother, Prince Louis, a colonel in the Russian Imperial Guard, was preferred to him by many Bonapartists.
In 1910, Napoleon was married to Princess Clémentine of Belgium (1872-1955), daughter of Leopold II of Belgium and Marie Henriette of Austria. They had two children:
- Princess Marie Clotilde Bonaparte (1912-1996).
- Prince Louis Napoléon (1914-1997).
