Excerpt from The Life of Napoleon Buonaparte, Emperor of the French, Vol. 3 of 9: With a Preliminary View of the French Revolution
All that is known with certainty of N speleon's fa mily may be told in few words. The Buonapartes were a family of some distinction in the middle ages; their names are inscribed in the Golden Book at Treviso, and their armorial bearings are to be seen on several houses in Florence. But attached, during the civil war, to the party of the Ghibellines, they of course were persecuted by the Guelphs; and be ing exiled from Tuscany, one of the family took re fuge in Corsica, and there established himself and his successors, who were regularly enrolled among the noble natives of the island, and enjoyed all the privileges of gentle blood.
