-Between the years 1852 and 1870 there was a [[Second French Empire]], again a member of the Bonaparte dynasty would rule; [[Napoleon III of France]] the son of [[Louis Bonaparte]]. However after tensions relating to Prussia, the dynasty was again ousted from the imperial throne. Since that time there has been a series of pretenders, supporters of the Bonaparte family's claim to the throne of France are known as [[Bonapartists]]. Current head [[Jean-Christophe Napoléon]] is ironically from a Bourbon mother.
