| Summary | "Les Rois Frères de Napoléon Ier" by Albert Du Casse is a historical account published in the late 19th century. The work delves into the intricate relationships between Napoleon Bonaparte and his brothers, primarily focusing on Joseph Bonaparte, who became the King of Naples and later of Spain. Through a collection of unpublished documents, it aims to provide new insights into the political maneuvers and familial dynamics that characterized the era of the First Empire. At the start of the book, Du Casse sets the stage by reflecting on previously published memoirs related to the Bonaparte brothers, noting that while these works contained valuable information, important documents and letters were omitted. He introduces Joseph as a crucial figure, who, although supportive of Napoleon's ambitions, approached the crown with reluctance, showing moderation and a degree of disinterest in his brother’s imperial aspirations. The opening also presents the complexities involved in Joseph’s political career, including his early role as ambassador to the Papal States and the challenges he faced in navigating relationships with both his brother and other European powers, laying the groundwork for a substantial exploration of the brothers' intricate connections.
