Yknow, a lot of things are a matter of perspective
If you told napoleon when he was 20, “oh, btw, your son is going to be an Austrian Duke and you are going to have a nice private island to do whatever you want with” he would’ve been like, “whoa! My family will rise so high?”
It’s only when he’s in his 40s and megalomaniacal that’s he’s like “I’d literally rather both me and my son dead”

Once again chosen mostly at top of my head. You might think the ones who were literally murdered have an advantage, but some, I think, were murdered detachedly, in a mafioso “business is business” way, while others lived surrounded by someone who was focusing a full grown adult’s preoccupying hate into them.
So use whatever metric you want!
Paul I was suggested so often in my last poll and forgive me for forgetting the beef.

On the topic of little Franz, it’s reminded me that it’s unfortunately still a common thing to see articles or books relishing the fact that he died, as a “payback” for Josephine. The reasoning behind it is that Napoleon was sexist and wrong to divorce Josephine. One of the reasons Napoleon and Josephine separated was so Napoleon could have an heir. So Franz only existed due to Napoleon’s second marriage to Marie Louise, who he married after separating from Josephine. The fact that Napoleon’s only legitimate son died young and without any children of his own is then paired with the fact that Josephine’s children (without Napoleon) have descendants. This in itself is pretty dumb because it ignores the fact that Napoleon had illegitimate children and also has descendants. But the premise is that little Napoleon II bore the guilt of a perceived slight committed by his father against Josephine and therefore had to be destroyed as a sort of revenge against the father. Little Franz was Napoleon’s greatest dream and the person he loved the most in the world. So the people who hate Napoleon rejoice in an event which they believe would have caused him pain (he was already dead at the time Napoleon II died).
