Trooper, this is very close but you are short changing him on his titles :wink2:
The first four should include "by the Grace of god and the constitutions of the republic" after "Napoleon 1st" Trooper
Almost correct Trooper! That was most of what was missing. According to the sources I have it is also part of his title in 1815. There is also "and Royal" after "Imperial" and before "Majesty" except in 1815.
For example between 1809 and 1814 his full title was:
His Imperial and Royal Majesty Napoleon the First, By the Grace of God and the Constitutions of the Republic, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine, Mediator of the Helvetic Confederation.
A little long to put on a business card...:wink2:
If you check my original entry you will find that "and Royal" was included. Trooper
It was not on the first period but this is a point of detail :wink2:[/QUOTE
Was not the "and Royal" title only added after he became King of Italy? I thought the "Imperial" title reflected his position as Emperor and the "Royal" as king. Trooper

Did more research and some sources I found have it before and some only after he became King of Italy in 1805, so I am not sure but I would agree with you that this would make sense.
