Talk:Prince of Canino and Musignano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Did any of these people actually claim to be French pretenders? Did any French bonapartists actually recognize them as heads of house? john k 17:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't use the word “actually” in conection with Napoléon I. I once read a comic about him and a made-up look-alike. The last line in that comic was:

"Don't we know who is actually sitting in that carriage?"

As a result of this the word “actually” lost it's meaning in conection with Napoléon I and look-alikes. (In the real world Napoléon could never have used a political decoy for linguistic reasons.) However, I understand what you mean. I don't think Luciens children – and further deceants – was ever considered heirs to the French throne. Several of them have lived in France: they would not had been welcomed if they where possible heirs.

[edit] Not a line of succession

According to this article, this is not a line of succession! Lucien and his heirs were not in the line of succession while the empire existed so they cannot be in it after it ceases to exist when laws of succession freeze. Charles 23:35, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
