Napoleon Bonaparte's Legacy

The Bonaparte family had spent the intervening years after Napoleon's defeat, living kind of as nomads. It was not until 1817 that Hortense received permission to settle in Bavaria with her son. Soon after she was allowed to settle in Switzerland to where she moved onto a fancy estate and her oldest son goes off to live with it. And sorry, his older brother is 16, he's nine when they get a permanent home. So it's worth noting that even at the worst points in their flight, the Bonaparte's were never anything but wealthy and comfortable.
