Does the text on the subject page about the second son make any sense? If the second son had still been alive, wouldn't he have become emperor instead of the third one? So how could he possibly live long enough to see his own heir inherit? I must be missing something. -- isis 21:53 Sep 17, 2002 (UTC)

Well, pretty much all the male Bonaparte's are called either Napoléon or Louis, so yo get easely confused. For instance Louis Bonaparte is not Louis Bonaparte but his father!

[edit] Louis' nicknames

On the Dutch page, Louis' nickname is given as de Lamme Koning. Can anyone translate this nickname? I can't find laame in any online dictionary. SigPig 15:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Lamme Koning = Lame King Dedden 14:20, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I thought that's what it might be, but I wasn't 100% sure. SigPig 16:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Berg

He was never Grand Duke of Berg, that was his son Napoleon Louis Bonaparte. Känsterle 12:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Factual accuracy

Can someone tell me WHERE the factual accuracy is discussed, as none of the few discussion items do state that they link to the tag. If not, I will soon remove the tage on the page. Thanks Arnoutf 15:21, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

He never was Grand Duke of Berg and Cleves. Känsterle 20:24, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article "Berg (state)" says: When, in 1808, Murat was promoted to the Kingdom of Naples, Napoleon's infant nephew, Prince Napoleon Louis (1804–1831, elder son of Napoleon's brother Louis Bonaparte, King of Holland) became Grand Duke, and the territory was administered by French bureaucrats. The Grand Duchy's short existence came to an end with Napoleon's defeat in 1813, and in the peace settlement that followed, Berg, along with much of the Westphalian region, was annexed to Prussia, forming a part of the Rhine province.

I think that means that title, and that of Duke of Cleves should be removed from Louis Bonapart, as Känsterle suggested. B. Meijlink 12:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
