Lucien Bonaparte

Lucien Bonaparte was a French statesman, who served as the final President of the Council of Five Hundred at the end of the French Revolution.

Lucien was a younger brother of Joseph and Napoleon Bonaparte, and an older brother of Elisa, Louis, Pauline, Caroline and Jérôme Bonaparte. Lucien held genuinely revolutionary views, which led to an often abrasive relationship with his brother Napoleon, who seized control of the French government in 1799, when Lucien was 24.
