Queen of Naples
1750-1836
1750-1836
Known as Madame Mere, Letizia Bonaparte bore 13 children to her husbandCarlo, but five died when young children.
After the Bonapartes were expelled from Corsica for their pro-French views, Letizia settled her family near Toulon.
An eminently sensible and practical woman, Letizia regularly counselled her royal children to prepare for a downturn in their fortunes.
When that day arrived after the fall of Napoleon, she retired to Rome.
