  Joseph Fesch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Fesch (January 3, 1763 - May 13, 1839), was a cardinal, closely associated with the family of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Fesch therefore fulfilled the role of an uncle to the young Bonapartes, and after the death of Lucien Bonaparte, archdeacon of Ajaccio, he became for a time the protector and patron of the family.
Towards the close of 1804, Napoleon entrusted to Fesch the difficult task of securing the presence of Pope Pius VII at the forthcoming coronation of the emperor at Notre Dame, Paris (December 2, 1804).

 JOSEPH FESCH - LoveToKnow Article on JOSEPH FESCH
Fesch therefore stood almost in the relation of an uncle to the young Bonapartes, and after the death of Lucien Bonaparte, archdeacon of Ajaccio, he became for a time the protector and patron of the family.
In the year 1789, when the French Revolution broke out, he was archdeacon of Ajaccio, and, like the majority of the Corsicans, he felt repugnance for many of the acts of the French government during that period; in particular he protested against the application to Corsica of the act known.
Thereafter, when the restoration of the Roman Catholic religion was in the mind of the First Consul, Fesch resumed his clerical vocation and took an active part in the complex negotiations whicn led to the signing of the Concordat with the Holy See on the 15th of July 1801.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joseph Fesch
The young priest was half-brother to Letizia Ramolino, the mother of Napoleon and upon arriving in France he entered the commissariat department of the army; later, in 1795, became commissary of war under Bonaparte, then in command of the Armée d'Italie.
A message containing the assurance of the cardinal's loyalty, and addressed to the supreme pontiff, then in exile at Fontainebleau, caused the Fesch to incur the emperor's disfavour and to forfeit the subsidy of 150,000 florins which he had received as Dalberg's coadjutor.
His relationship to the emperor and his cardinalitical dignity often made his position a difficult one; at least he could never be accused of approving the violent measures resorted to by Napoleon.

 MEMOIRS COURT OF ST. CLOUD, By Stewarton
Joseph Bonaparte, who in 1797, from an attorney's clerk at Ajaccio, in Corsica, was at once transformed into an Ambassador to the Court of Rome, had hardly read a treaty, or seen a despatch written, before he was himself to conclude the one, and to dictate the other.
On Joseph's arrival at Paris, Collot sent him the State bonds for the sum ordered, together with a very polite letter; but though he waited on the grand pacificator several times afterwards, all admittance was refused, until a douceur of one million of livres—nearly L 42,000—of Collot's private profit opened the door.
Joseph was here again the ostensible negotiator, though he, on this as well as on former occasions, concluded nothing that had not been prepared and digested by Talleyrand.

Joseph Bonaparte's attributes stood him in good stead in his initial attempt to establish himself in the United States, where animosity to Napoleon was often quite strong.
As a private man, M. Joseph was very fine; he was intelligent and spirited [perhaps a discreet reference to his charm with women], he loved letters and arts; and to those excellent qualities was joined an amiable and loyal character.
In the summers, Joseph Bonaparte often traveled with his daughters and a large entourage to Ballston Spa and Saratoga Springs and to his hunting lodge, all in northern New York State.

Born in Alkmaar, De Fesch was a virtuoso violinist and composer who held several posts in his homeland and had a number of publications to his credit before going to London in 1731.
Given the similarity in the thrust of De Fesch's effort, he was either planning to establish himself as a composer of oratorios alongside Handel, or perhaps even set himself up as a rival.
De Fesch was quick to recognize the value of a new and emerging form in England, the oratorio.

In the heart of Ajaccio lies Palais Fesch, and in that building is the Musée Fesch displaying the painting collection amassed by Cardinal Joseph Fesch (1763-1839), Napoleon's maternal uncle and archbishop of Lyons, the primate of the Gauls, a great art lover and important patron.
It was Fesch's desire to found an Intsitute of Arts and Sciences in his native town, and to that end he bequeathed to Ajaccio a thousand paintings from his extraordinary collection which at his death numbered more than 17,000 works of art, of which 16,000 were paintings.
Fesch himself, who died in Rome in 1839, was never to see the completed work.

Joseph Fesch, as I later read on looking him up in my old Guide Bleu, was the son of the late second marriage of Letizia Bonaparte’s mother to a Swiss military officer in Genoese service, and was thus Napoleon’s step-uncle.
Fesch’s aim was no less than to document the entire course of European art history in his private collection.
After I had left the Musée Fesch I sat for a while on a stone bench in the Place Letizia, which is really just a small garden set among tall buildings and containing some trees, with eucalyptus and oleanders, fan palms, laurels, and myrtles forming an oasis in the middle of the town.

To the great annoyance of the emperor, who was already contemplating a divorce, in case no heir were born to him, and was displaying a lively irritation against Josephine, Pius VII insisted upon the religious benediction of the marriage; otherwise, there was to be no coronation.
As Welschinger has proved, Fesch had previously asked the pope for the necessary dispensations and faculties, and the marriage was canonically beyond reproach.
Fesch refused to lend himself to this expedient and occupy the Archbishopric of Paris; but a certain number of nominated bishops did go to their episcopal cities in the capacity of provisional administrators.

There he found a people whose spirit of resistance was exasperated all the more because they believed themselves to be fighting for their liberty and the integrity of their faith as much as for their country.
The council added that, if the pope persisted in his refusal, the possibility of a public abolition of the Concordat by the emperor would have to be considered; but that these questions could be broached only by a national council, after one last attempt at negotiation with the pope.
