Editing Louis Lucien Bonaparte (section)

==Early life==

In 1809, Lucien Bonaparte came under pressure from his brother [[Napoleon]] to divorce his wife, [[Alexandrine de Bleschamp]], and return to France from his Italian estates, where he was a virtual prisoner, needing permission to leave his own land. He took ship to sail to the United States, but in 1810, on the way there, he and his wife were captured by the [[Royal Navy]]. The British government allowed  Lucien and his wife to settle at [[Ludlow]], and later at Thorngrove House, [[Grimley, Worcestershire|Grimley]], [[Worcestershire, England|Worcestershire]], where Louis Lucien Bonaparte was born in 1813. Napoleon believed Lucien had gone to Britain as a traitor.<ref name=bl>[http://vll-minos.bl.uk/reshelp/findhelplang/spanish/hispcoll/hispexhibl/bonaparte/bonaparte.html Out of the confusion of tongues: Louis-Lucien Bonaparte (1813-1891)], British Library, accessed 29 January 2021</ref>

Following his brother's abdication in April 1814, Louis Lucien's father returned to France and then to Rome, where on 18 August 1814 he was made [[Prince Canino Line|Prince of Canino]], Count of Apollino, and Lord of Nemori by [[Pope Pius VII]]. In 1824 he was created Prince of Musignano by [[Pope Leo XII]].<ref name=stroud>Stroud, Patricia Tyson, ''The Emperor of Nature: Charles-Lucien Bonaparte and his world'', (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2000), pp.21; 160.</ref>

In the [[Hundred Days]] after Napoleon's return to France from exile in [[Elba]], Lucien rallied to his brother's cause. Napoleon made him a French prince and included his children in the Imperial Family. However, this was not recognized by the [[Bourbon Restoration in France|restored Bourbon government]] after Napoleon's second abdication. In 1815, Lucien was proscribed and deprived of his seat in the [[Académie française]].<ref name=stroud/>
