Elder of the House

Foot-note that to be the elder one of a monarchical house, it is inevitably other thing to reign or to even assert its dynastic claims. For example, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte inherited the presidency its house in 1846 and until its death in 1873 in England kept it. But its reign as emperor began only in 1852 and finished following the rout of Sedan in 1870. Only him and Napoleon i knew imperial reigns in France.

The quality of “Chief of House” is denied with “prince” Charles Napoleon by the will of his own father, who institutes the grandson, eighteen years old in 2004, like “household head” instead of his father, who remains however “elder of the house” in line of male primogeniture.

The Histoire of the family Bonaparte was written by Felix Wouters, Paris, 1850 and by Misters Ambrosini and Huart, 1860.
