Hoping to cement the recent alliance with Austria through a family connection, Napoleon married the 18-year-old Archduchess Marie Louise, daughter of Emperor Francis II, by proxy on 11 March 1810. On 20 March 1811, Marie Louise gave birth to a baby boy, whom Napoleon made heir apparent and bestowed the title of King of Rome. His son never actually ruled the empire, but given his brief titular rule and cousin Louis-Napoléon&#039;s subsequent naming himself Napoléon III, historians often refer to him as Napoleon II.</p><p><br /></p><p>Catalog Description: For auction at Hindman Auctions March 21, the auction description does not identify the subjects.
