Who is Jean-Bedel Bokassa II?
Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Jr, or Jean-Bédel Bokassa II is a son of the self-styled "Emperor Bokassa I" of the Central African Empire by his sixth wife Catherine Denguiadé, who became "Empress" on Bokassa's assumption of the throne. Following his father's decision to become "Emperor", Jean-Bédel was named, at the age of 4, as heir apparent with the title of Crown Prince. He was chosen despite having several older brothers and half-brothers. Bokassa I's eldest son by another wife, Georges, was a cabinet minister but Bokassa considered him weak.
Jean-Bédel was included in Bokassa I's lavish coronation of 4 December 1977, which Pope Paul VI refused to attend.
