One of Lucien Bonaparte’s children just got into trouble…

Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte (mother Alexandrine) was born in Rome.  At age 15 he joined the anti-Napoleonic insurrectory bands.   Forced to flee to the United States along with his extended family, he joined his uncle Joseph there for a short time before traveling to Colombia to stay with family.

He was eventually captured by Pope Gregory XVI.

During the 1848 French 2nd Revolution, Pierre became Deputy of Corsica on the side of his cousin Louis.  Louis made him a Prince of France in 1851, but he disappears from history and politics shortly after due to alleged “debauchery”.

The last recorded history shows Pierre married the daughter of a Paris plumber while working as a doorman.
