Napoleon’s grandmother Maria Saveria Paravicini requested the genealogy of her husband Giuseppe Maria Buonaparte. From this genealogy, it was determined Giuseppe was descended from William IX Marquess of Montferrat (from the House of Palaeologus-Montferrat) and Borso d’Este. I’ve tried searching for a clear link between Napoleon and these two, but there is little to no evidence beside the genealogy that I assume is privately owned. The only information I have concluded is that Napoleon would descend from William IX’s daughter Margaret, and probably from an illegitimate child of Borso. Does anyone have any theories on connections that could be true?
