Imperial throne of the French — Sovereign office of the First and Second Empires
The sovereign office created in 1804 for Napoleon I and restored in 1852 for Napoleon III; it disappeared with the defeat at Sedan. (Editorial synthesis)
2 territories are reported for this office: the First Empire (from 1804 to 1815) and the Second Empire (from 1852 to 1870). (source: Fondation Napoléon, Encyclopædia Britannica, Conseil constitutionnel, Élysée, and Assemblée nationale)
3 holders of the imperial throne of the French are recorded: Napoleon III (from 1852 to 1870, deposition), Napoleon I (from 1804 to 1814, abdication), and Napoleon I (in 1815, second abdication).
Answers are drawn from a corpus established and verified by an editorial team; each one shows its source.
When a piece of information is not in that collection, the encyclopedia says so rather than inventing it — that principle is what makes every answer it does give trustworthy.
