House of Bonaparte (Napoleonic Age)

The House of Bonaparte was the most prestigious, wealthy, and powerful royal/imperial family of 19th and 20th century Europe. Founded amid the bloodshed of the Napoleonic Wars, it achieved ascendancy in Europe following the conclusion of the War of the Seventh Coalition and the subsequent Peace of Prague. Its most prestigious members, including the various Emperors of the French, went on throughout the remainder of the 19th century to accrue a great list of prestigious titles for themselves, quickly becoming one of the most accomplished, widespread, and important monarchic dynasties in human history.
