He was the grandson of Duke Ferdinand Of Parma . When Ferdinand was deposed by Napoleon Bonaparte his son, Louis Of Etruria , Charles Louis's father, was made King of Etruria, a new state Bonaparte created from the Grand Duchy Of Tuscany . Charles Louis succeeded his father in 1803. In 1807 he was driven from Etruria by Napoleon's army, who instead promised Charles Louis the throne of the Kingdom Of Northern Lusitania (in the North of Portugal ). After Napoleon's downfall in 1815 the House Of Bourbon was not restored to the Duchy of Parma, but rather the duchy was given to Marie Louise , Napoleon's wife. Charles Louis was compensated with the smaller Duchy Of Lucca . Maria Louisa died in 1847 and was succeeded by Charles Louis as ''Charles II''. Lucca was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. |
