Summary: "Le Roi de Rome" by Henri Welschinger is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work centers around the life of Napoleon's son, who was given the title of King of Rome before his birth and later called Duke of Reichstadt. It explores themes of power, legacy, and the complex relationship between Napoleon and his offspring amid the shifting tides of European politics. The opening of the account presents the background of the Senate's decree on February 17, 1810, which established the title of King of Rome for Napoleon's future son, emphasizing Napoleon's ambition and the symbolic significance of this action. The author details the political context surrounding this decision, highlighting Napoleon’s desire to legitimize his reign by tying his legacy to historical precedents, particularly the glory of Charlemagne and the political implications of usurping authority from the Papacy. Welschinger outlines the contradictions inherent in Napoleon's claims to power and foreshadows the challenges and turmoils that would ultimately shape the life and identity of the young prince.
