- Murat, seen here wearing Court dress, married in 1800 Napoleon's sister Caroline Bonaparte (see Aubry, 'Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples', M4). He was King of Naples 1808-14. With his wife he conspired with Austria to retain their throne after Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig, but their intrigues were ultimately unsuccessful and in 1815 Murat was executed.
