Archduchess Maria Louise of Austria was the second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. She was born on 12 December 1791 as the first child of Emperor Franz II of Austria. Her mother, Maria Theresia, daughter of Maria Karolina, Queen of Naples, was also a granddaughter of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. Archduchess Maria Louise was married to Napoleon Bonaparte on April 2, 1810 in Paris, against her will, and bore him a son on March 20, 1811, to whom Napoleon gave the name of King of Rome. In 1813 Napoleon formally occupied Maria Louise with the regency. During the exile of her husband to the island of Elba, the Empress of the French stayed with her son in Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace, the then summer residence of the Habsburgs.
