Succession

What happens if the lines of Prince Napoleon VII Charles, his son, and his brother go extinct? Does the succession just die, will the last in line appoint it to someone, does it go to Napoleon's illegitimate lines, or what? Emperor001 20:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon could only adopt his brother's and their descendants as heirs. If all the male line went extinct, strictly speaking, there would be no more heirs. Tinynanorobots (talk) 01:40, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Genealogy

Buonaparte was branch of countly house of Cadolings. Cadolings had Langobardic origin. But there was claim of Carolingian origin. May be this came from similarity of names. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greutungen (talk • contribs) 12:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with the family tree under Lucien Bonaparte

It looks like there is a missing level of indentation after the line "10 children with second wife, Alexandrine von Bleschamps:". I'd add the indentation, but it seems there are other problems, such as 11 children being listed, not 10. I wonder if it's a mistake that there are two different Christine Charlottes. This information is also inconsistent with the Charles Lucien Bonaparte page. Could a historian step in? Espertus (talk) 17:36, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon III paternity

The allegation that Napoleon III was not the son of Hortense de Beauharnais by her husband, Napoleon I's brother King Louis Bonaparte of Holland, has long been a matter of debate and conjecture. Recent studies purporting to compare DNA salvaged from Napoleon I's hair to that of various subsequent persons clsiming male-line kinship with the first Bonaparte emperor have been widely circulated via the Internet. On 10 March 2015, an anonymous, apparently newbie Wikipedia contributor 78.192.203.71 edited this article, purporting to confirm therein that published DNA studies have established that the current Bonaparte claimant Charles, Prince Napoléon, is indeed of the same Y-STR haplotype as Napoleon I, but also claiming that Napoleon III (and his descendants by his illegitimate son, the Comte d'Orx) is not. On 21 April 2017 DrKay edited out the latter contention, noting that it was not substantiated by the source to which it was attributed. While the integrity of English Wikipedia has thus been protected from disinformation, many other online sites have uncritically accepted that it has been academically proved that Napoleon III was not genetically a Bonaparte. I am flagging attention to the matter here because it should be expected that further editing of this and related articles will address this controversial issue, so English Wikipedia should be vigilant and scrutinize such edits carefully. At this moment, there seems to have been no reliably published results of comparisons of Napoleon I's DNA to that of Napoleon III, but it is entirely possible that such information will eventually become available. Let's be careful to vet the allegations and sources carefully, then edit accordingly. FactStraight (talk) 21:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
