Napoleon II, properly François Charles Joseph Bonaparte (1811-1832) son of Napoleon I by Marie Louise, born in Paris. He was styled king of Rome upon his birth at the Tuileries in 1811. From 1814 until his death (from tuberculosis) he lived at the Austrian court and was created Duke of Reichstadt (1818) by his grandfather, Francis I. Loyal Bonapartists proclaimed him Napoleon II in Paris on 28 June 1815, but he was formally deposed five days later. He spent the rest of his life in Vienna.
