Eugène de Beauharnais was the son of Joséphine and the adopted stepson of Napoleon. As viceroy he governed the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy from Milan between 1805 and 1814 and commanded armies in the campaigns of 1809 and 1812. In 1810 he was named heir to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, and after Napoleon's fall his father-in-law, the king of Bavaria, made him Duke of Leuchtenberg in 1817.
