Napoleon II
Napoleon II: (1811-32) son of Napoleon I and Marie Louise, known as the king of Rome (1811-14), as the prince of Parma (1814-18), and after that as the duke of Reichstadt. Napoleon's abdication in 1815 was in favor of his son, so that he was known to the Bonapartists as Napoleon II, although he never ruled. After 1815 he was a virtual prisoner in Austria, where he died of tuberculosis. The pitiful life of the "Eaglet" is the subject of Edmond Rostand's drama L'Aiglon.
