The brief reign of Napoleon II. On 4 April, 1814, after the Six Days campaign and the coalition’s capture of Paris, the French emperor abdicated in favour of his son. Aged just three, the Roi de Rome, became French emperor and ruled France for a couple of days as Napoleon II.
The victors, fearing that Napoleon II had inherited his father's military ambitions, were determined to prevent another Bonaparte imperial project. Napoleon II's reign as Emperor is dated from June 22 until July 7, 1815.
