Editing Napoleon II (section)

===Birth===
Napoleon II was born on 20 March 1811, at the [[Tuileries Palace]], the son of Emperor [[Napoleon I]] and Empress [[Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma|Marie Louise]]. On the same day he underwent ''ondoiement'' (a traditional French ceremony which is a simple baptism unaccompanied by the usual additional ceremonies) by [[Joseph Fesch]] with his full name of ''Napoleon François Charles Joseph''.<ref name="napoleon">{{cite web | url=http://www.napoleon.org/en/reading_room/biographies/files/478853.asp | title=Napoleon II: King of Rome, French Emperor, Prince of Parma, Duke of Reichstadt | publisher=napoleon.org | work=The Napoleon Foundation | date=March 2011 | access-date=8 March 2012}}</ref>
The baptism, inspired by the baptismal ceremony of [[Louis, Grand Dauphin]] of France, was held on 9 June 1811 in [[Notre Dame de Paris]].<ref name="napoleon" /> [[Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg]], Austrian ambassador to France, wrote of the baptism:
{{quote|The baptism ceremony was beautiful and impressive; the scene in which the emperor took the infant from the arms of his noble mother and raised him up twice to reveal him to the public [thus breaking from long tradition, as he did when he crowned himself at his coronation] was loudly applauded; in the monarch's manner and face could be seen the great satisfaction that he took from this solemn moment.<ref name="napoleon" />}}

He was put in the care of [[Louise Charlotte Françoise de Montesquiou]], a descendant of [[François-Michel le Tellier, Marquis de Louvois]], who was named [[Governess of the Children of France]]. Affectionate and intelligent, the governess assembled a considerable collection of books intended to give the infant a strong grounding in religion, philosophy, and military matters.<ref name="napoleon" />
