Tips

Joseph was born Giuseppe Buonaparte in 1768 to the notary and landowner Carlo Buonaparte and Laetitia Ramolino in Corte, the capital of the Republic of Corsica. The young couple lived there in the house of Laetitia's uncle Arrighi di Casanova. The Republic of Genoa had sold the island to the Kingdom of France in the same year, but an uprising against the French had broken out under the leadership of Pasquale Paoli, in which Carlo Buonaparte took part on diplomatic missions and ultimately as captain of a company of partisans. After the uprising was crushed, however, he was amnestied, his property was returned and in 1771 he was even granted French nobility by Louis XV.

Joseph Bonaparte (7 January 1768 in Corte, Corsica; † 28 July 1844 in Florence), born as Giuseppe Buonaparte, was the eldest brother of Napoleon and was appointed by him first as Joseph I (Italian Giuseppe I) King of Naples (1806–1808) and then also as Joseph I (Spanish José I) King of Spain (1808–1813). After the fall of Napoleon, he called himself Comte de Survilliers.
