Prince Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul Bonaparte

From Legacyview Dictionary of Biography

(1822-1891), son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte.

He took to politics and fought with the anti-clericals after 1848 and under the Second Empire received the title of prince. At its fall he lived for sometime in England where he was very friendly with Charles Bradlaugh, whose atheism he shared. The clergy smeared him with their holy oils when he was dying but he was unconscious and had never changed his views. French historiand think him the cleverest of the family after Napoleon.
