Why now?
Sounds like an opportunity for an historic “oops”.
Has anyone thought of asking the Emperor what he wants to have done with his bones?
French seance in order here. Mind the ectoplasm.
Napolean III wasn’t much of an Emperor, so I’m not sure why they want his corpse.
Napoleon II died in Austria--I think it was during the German occupation of France that his body was moved to Paris.
The last Bourbon king of France, Charles X, is buried in Slovenia. I guess they aren't too concerned with getting him back.
Considering how well he did against the Prussians, I’m surprised they want him back.
