1767-1815. King of Naples from 1808. An
officer in the French army, he was made king
by Napoleon, but deserted him in 1813 in the
vain hope that Austria and Great Britain
would recognize him. In 1815 he attempted
unsuccessfully to make himself king of all
Italy, but when he landed in Calabria in an
attempt to gain the throne he was captured
and shot.
