Queen of Naples
Sister of Napoleon
As a result of her ambitious and intriguing
nature, her husband became governor of Paris, marshal of France
(1804), grand duke of Berg and of Cleves (1806), lieutenant of
the emperor in Spain (1803), and king of Naples (1808). Her relations
with Napoleon became strained as she associated herself with the
shifting allegiances of her husband in 1814-15, which led ultimately
to Murat's fall and execution in 1815. Thereafter, Caroline took
refuge in Trieste, taking the title comtesse de Lipona.
