Lucien Bonaparte, French soldier and politician (d. 1840)
Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Français, 1st Prince of Canino and Musignano (born Luciano Buonaparte; 21 May 1775 – 29 June 1840), the third surviving son of Carlo Bonaparte and his wife Letizia Ramolino, was a Corsican-French statesman, who served as the final President of the Council of Five Hundred at the end of the French Revolution.
Lucien was the younger brother of Joseph and Napoleon Bonaparte, and the older brother of Elisa, Louis, Pauline, Caroline and Jérôme Bonaparte. Lucien held genuinely revolutionary views, which led to an often abrasive relationship with his brother Napoleon, who seized control of the French government in 1799, when Lucien was 24.Lucien Bonaparte's rise during the French Revolution, unlike Napoleon's other siblings, was not based on familial connections or nepotism. That was one of the issues that caused friction between Lucien and Napoleon in the early years of the 19th century, as their political differences deepened. Both Lucien and Napoleon had a very keen interest in historical antiquity when young.
