Napoleon’s Brothers & Sisters: Baby Bonapartes

[@Rogerramjet4321]

One thing you can say about the Bonaparte siblings is that that they were not boring. What an interesting family.

[@AstarionWifey]

Is any historical family ever boring???? 😂😂😂

"I would rather be sheltered by an eagle, than dangled from the beak of a goose." Nineteenth century shade slays!

[@avaglennon9873]

Jerome is the worst. You’re so dependent on and desperate to please your brother that you’ll abandon a person you genuinely loved up until that point?

[@Ptnxyjlolalalalala]

Spoiled and weak- what to expect from a man like that

[@NIkki-ox1ej]

😂 what in the world, 😆 napoleon paying his brothers child support to his sister in law , she said, No! I’m not getting back with your dumba$$ self (Jerome) then had the brother in law pay the child support. Well played, the son Jerome didn’t lack anything and he went places. She is definitely American and exercised her rights

[@joshuafrimpong244]

You'll be shocked to know that the modern day heads of the family all descend from him

[@elmin82]

yes he was really a weak spoiled brat

[@abbe1abbe156]

Sounds like the British Royal Family.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Napoleon's siblings really are quite interesting. I can't believe I missed this series! Seems like the Bonapartes are one of those families who are ambitious and destined for greatness!

[@nickievison1134]

Betsy is who I aspire to be. Beautiful, witty and unapologetic. Plus she met her ex at a party looking 10x better than him.

[@PHSDM104]

A true American girl.

[@shadelings]

And her response to Jerome about not wishing to be dangled from the beak of a goose was pure fire!

[@agatha6999]

I’m really curious what the Bonaparte’s mother thought of all her children rising far above what they were expected to reach in life

[@AstarionWifey]

Never good enough 😂

[@Jean-gx2qe]

She thought she should rise with them, if course! 🤣

[@PHSDM104]

Josephine helped Caroline to be with the man she loved. In return Caroline found her brother a mistress 😅

[@Sienna6164]

Real mean girl

[@ledam2654]

I can't imagine Betsy's social humiliation when she returned to Baltimore. Poor Betsy.

[@TheMeloettaful]

I felt so bad for her! But I feel like at the end of the day she got the last laugh over Jerome 😌.

[@redadmiralofvalyria867]

​@TheMeloettaful Especially when u consider the fact that her son was an IMPERIAL prince of France 🇫🇷 (in blood at least), so I imagine if the humiliation was there in society, it didn't last long

[@naomibeijer]

I just love when non Dutch speaking people try to pronounce Dutch words. It’s such a difficult and weird language to learn and speak. Btw, King Lodewijk Napoleon was one of the best kings The Netherlands ever had. Way better than some of the Willems who came after him. I rather have Lodewijk than Willem III!

[@jessrosefawkes2721]

Thank you for another amazing video. And can I just say, I was a heroin addict for 12 years, I’m 32 now and I’ve been clean since oct 22. And your videos have been instrumental in helping in my recovery. Your channel along with a couple of other channels, have been an amazing distraction for me as your 1 of the best historical channels on the whole of you tube! So thank you so much your amazing content. your videos have got me loving history again lol! Thank you so much and take care 😊

[@jessrosefawkes2721]

And well done for over 800k subscribers! You will be hitting a million in no time! Amazing achievement Lindsay, you deserve every single subscriber! 😊

[@sheilahilton356]

Wow, how educational, I didn't see the ending coming. Thank you for bringing such passion to your work.

[@Replicaate]

Caroline is probably my favorite of the siblings, tbh. Maybe i just feel that youngest-sister fury as a fellow family baby. Also she snared Napoleon's absolute wildest general - Joachim's life is almost worth a video of his own!

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

As a Corsican, you have no idea how satisfying and amusing it is to learn that the FBI was funded by a Bonaparte. This made my day! 😂

[@TradMommy]

Founded, not funded. I hardly doubt the French would fund anything in USA. Hope you’re still proud of your ancestry?

[@emilybarclay8831]

@@TradMommythe French literally funded the American revolution lmao. Without French support you’d all still be singing god save the king. You have the French hatred for the English to thank for your independence

[@Mariathinking]

The Bonapartes would make a great Wes Anderson film!

[@CassieReynolds-se7rh]

I love the little extra bits of sass this episode(weather intentional or not). It adds this extra pizzaz that I love! Your doing amazing Lindsay!

[@PHSDM104]

Betsy was definitely American. She hit 'em with the "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@COBO2]

Pauline sure love do portraits while posing topless 😂

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

this family is one of the most interesting of all the royal ones!

[@NIkki-ox1ej]

what I respect about napoleon based on this videos recount of events is that when he rose to power he did not forget his family. He was hooking up his family to wealth as well, even though there were some personal interests

[@arananation]

This is the first time I have ever heard you curse didn’t think such a sweet sounding lady was able to curse. 😂 great video once again!

[@szlonkobusjbusj3819]

@13:46 That's not the correct Berg on the map. The Dutchy of Berg was arround Düsseldorf, so not far away from Cleves.

[@lauramason5667]

This is fascinating. Thank you so so much for all of your great educational documentaries.❤

[@sarapawsonherrington2595]

Very interesting that a relative of Napoleon created the FBI!!

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

In Rome, Pauline did a morning levee where the men she liked got to watch her maids washing and powdering her feet! (Oh, you tease...) She also posed near-nude for a Canova statue, which I think appears at 8:20. (She was ready to go the full Monty, but Canova drew the line at that.) She later rationalized that Canova wasn't "a real man"--does that mean that he was gay, or just that he resisted her advances?--and there was a warm fire! Will you do something on the next generation of Bonapartes?

[@samuelwolch1302]

Would you ever do a video about Napoleon’s mistresses and kids?

[@chaarithadheerasinghe8044]

Joseph, Lucian, and Louis were all pretty impressive in their own right. I honestly think Joseph and Lucian would have likely been near legendary monarchs had Napoleon not interfered.

[@suzannesmith2204]

This was the first Time that l got to be apart of a Live Video that was AWESOME

[@elle_from_cawa-li9061]

I’ve always thought that Jerome was despicable. Very sad. I’m sure he regretted it at the end of his life

[@revinhatol]

If those 5 out of 13 siblings lived longer, they would have gone to greener pastures.

[@Richardsonprincess00]

Neither of his baby siblings never got their own happily ever after just a miserable ending in hell.

[@JamieZimm]

I had no idea there were American connections to Napoleon!

[@ashlyle89]

So Princess Pauline sat for portraits nude? Crazy how their double standards were back then.

Money is the only standard back in the days and nowadays 💯

[@jaydebarton782]

Oh wow! I never knew who was colonizing Haiti at the time- very interesting. Thanks for including this tidbit.

[@areiaaphrodite]

My favourite part was hearing about old, out of shape Jérome seeing his first wife, thriving, still beautiful and shining after he did her so wrong and living her best life without him. When your ex sees you doing better without them 💪

Imma be honest, of all the things I was expecting in this video, the creation of the freaking FBI was not one of them.

you need to be a bit more strict with your research!!! For those of us in the know it is not acceptable that you pass of a portrait of Juliette Recamier among others as Pauline Bonaparte !!Especially since Mdme Recamier was not at all a friend of the loud and unrefined Bonaparte Woman
