===Reign=== On 29 March 1814, Marie Louise, accompanied by her entourage, left the [[Tuileries Palace]] with her son. Their first stop was the [[Château de Rambouillet]]; then, fearing the advancing enemy troops, they continued on to the [[Château de Blois]]. On 13 April, with her entourage much diminished, Marie Louise and her three-year-old son were back in Rambouillet, where they met her father, Emperor [[Francis I of Austria]], and Emperor [[Alexander I of Russia]]. On 23 April, escorted by an Austrian regiment, mother and son left Rambouillet and France forever, for their exile in Austria.<ref>G. Lenotre, ''le Château de Rambouillet, six siècles d'histoire'', ch. ''L'empereur'', Éditions Denoël, Paris, 1984 (1930 reedition), pp. 126–133, {{ISBN|2-207-23023-6}}.</ref> In 1815, after his [[Hundred Days|resurgence]] and his defeat at [[Battle of Waterloo|Waterloo]], [[Abdication of Napoleon, 1815|Napoleon I abdicated for the second time]] in favour of his four-year-old son, whom he had not seen since his exile to [[Elba]]. The day after Napoleon's abdication, a [[French Provisional Government of 1815|Commission of Government]] of five members took the rule of France,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k486114j.pleinepage.f281.langFR |title=(N.275.)

The entrance of the Allies into Paris on 7 July brought a rapid end to his supporters' wishes. Napoleon II was residing in Austria with his mother. The next Bonaparte to ascend the throne of France, in 1852, would be Louis-Napoleon, the son of Napoleon's brother [[Louis Bonaparte|Louis I, King of Holland]]. He took the [[regnal name]] of [[Napoleon III]].
