Napoléon–François–Charles–Joseph Bonaparte (Paris, 20 March 1811–Vienna, 22 July 1832) was the only son of Napoléon Bonaparte and his second wife, Marie Louise de Habsbourg Lorraine, and at his birth was given the title King of Rome.
From 4 to 6 April 1814, after his father’s abdication and before renouncing all rights for himself and his descendants, Napoléon–François–Charles–Joseph took the title Napoleon II, French Emperor, and title that was to be reconfirmed by his father even after the One Hundred Days.
With Napoleon’s exile to Elba, François (or Franz, as he was called from then on) was forced to go to Austria with his mother and lived there until 1832, when he died of tuberculosis without leaving an heir.
His remains were transferred in 1940 to the Invalides next to those of his father
