Hélène Napoleone Bonaparte

Who was Hélène Napoleone Bonaparte?

Hélène Napoleone Bonaparte was the daughter of Albine de Montholon. Her father was either her mother's husband, Charles Tristan, marquis de Montholon, or Napoleon I. Albine became pregnant on the way to Saint Helena; Napoleon was to be exiled. As she had two partners at the time – her husband and Napoleon – who begot Hélène is unknown. She did, however, bear a striking similarity to Napoleon, and was named after him.
