Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte

Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte (born May 24, 1803 in Paris , † July 29, 1857 ibid) was an Italian zoologist , ornithologist and politician. He was the son of Lucien Bonaparte (1775-1840) and the nephew of Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte (1769-1821).

Life

Prince Charles Bonaparte grew up in Italy . After he married his cousin, Princess Zénaïde Laetitia Julie Bonaparte , on June 29, 1822 in Brussels , he moved to the United States .

Bonaparte corrected and completed Wilson's American Ornithology and published this work from 1825–1833. In 1824 he tried to bring the hitherto unknown John James Audubon to the Academy of Natural Sciences , but the ornithologist George Ord refused his application for membership.

Bonaparte returned to Europe with his family in 1826, where he settled in Rome in 1828 . From 1832 to 1841 he published a work on the fauna of Italy, Iconografia della Fauna Italica .

In 1840, after the death of his father, he inherited the title Principe de Canino e Musignano . Canino was his father's property in what is now the province of Viterbo in Italy, and Musignano Castle was his preferred residence near the village. In 1848 he joined a radical party, the pro-nationalist movement, and in 1849 became a member of the Viterbo Province . In the same year he accepted the post of Vice-President of Parliament. After the failure of the Italian uprising in July 1849, he went into exile because of his political membership in the pro-nationalist movement .

Bonaparte settled in Paris in 1850. In addition to his wife, he had a love affair with Donna Marie Said-Testaferrata (1820-1848), with whom he had some offspring. From 1854 until his death he was director of the Jardin des Plantes , the Parisian botanical garden .
