On the topic of little Franz, it’s reminded me that it’s unfortunately still a common thing to see articles or books relishing the fact that he died, as a “payback” for Josephine. The reasoning behind it is that Napoleon was sexist and wrong to divorce Josephine. One of the reasons Napoleon and Josephine separated was so Napoleon could have an heir. So Franz only existed due to Napoleon’s second marriage to Marie Louise, who he married after separating from Josephine. The fact that Napoleon’s only legitimate son died young and without any children of his own is then paired with the fact that Josephine’s children (without Napoleon) have descendants. This in itself is pretty dumb because it ignores the fact that Napoleon had illegitimate children and also has descendants. But the premise is that little Napoleon II bore the guilt of a perceived slight committed by his father against Josephine and therefore had to be destroyed as a sort of revenge against the father. Little Franz was Napoleon’s greatest dream and the person he loved the most in the world. So the people who hate Napoleon rejoice in an event which they believe would have caused him pain (he was already dead at the time Napoleon II died).

Even when I feel exhausted, I still want to make funny redraws of stock pictures because some memes simply have to be born!
At first, I wanted the child to represent Austrian empire as a whole, since Metternich and Schwarzenberg did so much to make it great once again, but then my fingers slipped… 😗🇦🇹
As a result, please, come here, caring someone, take smol Aiglon from this two crafty statesmen and make his life at least bearable! He deserves it after all that happened to him historically. 🤲

Napoleon II, styled King of Rome, later Duke of Reichstadt, by Thomas Lawrence, 1818-1819
Napoleon’s only legitimate child, Napoleon François Charles Joseph Bonaparte, was born at the Tuileries Palace on March 20, 1811, to all the splendor of the French Imperial Court. His birth was a touch-and-go affair. The doctor feared that either Napoleon’s wife, Marie Louise, or the baby might die. Napoleon said he would have preferred being at a battle.
The baby was given the title of King of Rome. He was later known as Napoleon II, the Prince of Parma, and the Duke of Reichstadt. He did not hold all of those titles at the same time, and you can tell whether someone was a supporter of Napoleon based on how they referred to the boy after 1815. His nickname was l’Aiglon, or the Eaglet (one of Napoleon’s symbols was the eagle).
He led a short, sad life, living in exile from France and dying of tuberculosis at the age of 21. For details, see “Napoleon II: Napoleon’s Son, the King of Rome.”

EL MONTERO
Soy tan hijo de la sierra
cual rebeco o alerión,
sólo bajo a la campiña
por pólvora y perdigón;
vuelvo luego y de mi reino
veo gente abajo rampar;
repinarse hubiera el rayo
si me quisiera alcanzar.
Sólo el agua de los cielos
me refresca tras cazar;
mas la vereda que sigo
no la tocó humano pie.
¡Miasmas no aspira mi pecho!
Libre abrevo el aire azul,
y nadie vivo en la tierra
está más cerca de Dios.
Fue mi cuna nido de águilas,
de héroe par o de rey;
vivo sin norma ni freno,
remontando humana ley.
Cuando muera una avalancha
blanca me ensabanará,
y la nieve a mi despojo
labrará tumba de argén.
Sierra Nevada
*
LE CHASSEUR
Je suis enfant de la montagne,
Comme l’isard, comme l’aiglon ;
Je ne descends dans la campagne
Que pour ma poudre et pour mon plomb ;
Puis je reviens, et de mon aire
Je vois en bas l’homme ramper,
Si haut placé que le tonnerre
Remonterait pour me frapper.
Je n’ai pour boire, après ma chasse,
Que l’eau du ciel dans mes deux mains ;
Mais le sentier par où je passe
Est vierge encor de pas humains.
Dans mes poumons nul souffle immonde !
En liberté je bois l’air bleu,
Et nul vivant en ce bas monde
Autant que moi n’approche Dieu.
Pour mon berceau j’eus un nid d’aigle
Comme un héros ou comme un roi,
Et j’ai vécu sans frein ni règle,
Plus haut que l’homme et que la loi.
Après ma mort une avalanche
De son linceul me couvrira,
Et sur mon corps la neige blanche,
Tombeau d’argent, s’élèvera.
Sierra Nevada

To see Sarah Bernhardt in L’Aiglon, what is that but tripe? Mounet-Sully in Oedipus, tripe! At the most it assumes a certain pallid transfiguration when it is performed in the Arena of Nîmes. But what is it compared to that unimaginable spectacle, the lineal descendant of the Constable engaged in battle.
— Marcel Proust, Cities of the Plain
