Napoleon II - Napoleon' Son

On 22 June 1815, Napoleon signed his second abdication after the battle of Waterloo. In the Constitution that had been approved by the French Nation in 1804, he had been made the Emperor of France and it had been approved as well that his descendant would succeed him as Emperor.

After the battle of Waterloo, a great amount of political figures who moved up the social ladder during the reign of Napoleon quickly forgot their allegiance to the regime to preserve their own self-interest which was now tied to the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy...

Napoleon's son should have been proclaimed Napoleon II right then and there... This is not what happened. Napoleon's second wife Marie-Louise of Austria also forgot her vow of loyalty and fled back home, bringing their son with her.

He would be raised in a gilded prison: a palace with no contact with France...
