Disinterested posted:You left out Napoleon's useless brother You need to be more specific. Do you mean Joseph, failed King of Spain? Or perhaps Louis, failed King of Holland? Or maybe Jerome who gave up his American wife (Betsy Patterson) for the Kingdom of Westphalia? Or do you mean Lucien, the traitorous brother who helped bring in the Consulate (President of the Council of Five Hundred) and later turned has back on everything, but hey dude got named Prince of Canino by Pius VII! Or maybe we could refer to one of the brothers-in-law? Elisa's worthless husband Felix Baciocchi, Prince of Lucca? Maybe One of Pauline's husbands? Leclerc who died in Haiti to Toussant L'Overtures remaining forces, oh no wait it was yellow fever. Or Camillo Borghese Prince of Sulmona who was just generally ineffectual. Or, there's Caroline's husband Murat, King of Naples who tried to save his own skin and abandoned Napoleon at the end? Losers. All of them. I'd post more with links, but I'm on my phone, doing this from memory I may have spelled some of those kingdoms wrong.

Raygereio posted:Louis is generally remembered favorably in the Netherlands. He seemed to take his duties as King seriously. There were two disaster during his reign (a ship with gunpowder blew up in Leiden and there was a flooding) where he helped with relief efforts, which got him a lot of goodwill. You say good, I say failed. LOOK AT MY NAME.
