Talk:Lucien Bonaparte

The branch of Lucien was excluded from the succession to the Imperial French throne. They were never "pretenders".--Alexvonf 12:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Lucien was against Napoléon turning himself into an emperor in the first place. He later changed his mind: it is said that he become reconciled with Napoléon during the ”Hundred Days”. (I can imagine the two brothers hugging each other.) However, Lucien and his deceants was never formaly accepted as possible heirs to the imperial French throne. If he had been his children (and futher deceants) would not have beed welcomed back to France. I have seiously thought of erasing the ”House of Bonaparte” box, but I don't know if I dare. I don't have a Wikipedia account and I don't want any. However, I have linked a name in the article Roman Republic (19th century). I have also changed a wrong ”translation” in Wikimedia Commons. (Can you translate a name?) If I decide to erase the box I will also do so in the article about his son Carlo (or Charles if you want).

Of course you can translate names, there's nothing magical about them. People used to freely Latinize their own names, like Koper into Copernicus. Titian (i.e. Tiziano) wrote "Titianus fecit, fecit" (sic) on one of his paintings. And you don't think Jesus was really called "Jesus" by his nearest and dearest, do you?

Sword wielding politican?

Did he realy use a sword during the coup d'état? I have heard that he treated to kill his brother with a dagger! The person who told this to me was not an historian. But I have no reson to belive that Lucien could handle av sword better than any civilian.

Self Imposed exile?

In 1804, spurning imperial honors, he went into self-imposed exile,

Not sure this is perfectly accurate. He was exiled by napoleon at first, not by his own will. several years later napoleon tried to get him to come back and be a king like his other brothers - and then he refused. So at that point it became self imposed.Cool10191 (talk) 17:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Cause of death for his siblings

I accept that Lucien and Elisa died from cancer. However, their older brother Napoléon did not. I have written a summary of the present-day state of knowledge on the issue. It can be found here. I am not an expert just an ordinary sceptic with a reluctant fascination for Napoléon. As long as you refrain from ad hominem attacks on me questioners will be answered to the best of my ability.

Napoleon did not die of stomach cancer. Forensic examination shows he was poisoned by arsenic. The only question is whether it was his English commandant/jailor or a jealous husband of a lady in his St. Helena entourage that he was having a relationship with who administered the poison. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.118.95.106 (talk) 08:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Wife

The section called "Later Years" begins with this sentence: "In 1809 Napoleon increased pressure on Lucien to divorce his wife...." but nothing before this tells us he married or that this led to a rift with his brother etc. Perhaps the info was once included but has been deleted. Could someone well-informed rectify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Campolongo (talk • contribs) 20:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Illegitimate Tahitian daughter

According to Holt family legend, Lucien Bonaparte had a daughter by the name of Tanimamma with a Tahtiian chiefess of the Teva clan.[1] and [2]. It seems fanciful since it made no sense for a Tahitian royal to travel as an emissary to France during the Napoleonic period less than a decade after the LMS missionary Christianize the islands.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:47, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
