Charles XIV John ( Karl XIV Johan), born Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte ( January 26, 1763 – March 8, 1844) was King of Sweden and Norway (where he was known as Charles III John ( Karl III Johan)) from 1818 until his death.

When Napoleon was asked why he had not accused his sister, he replied that though he suspected that she was guilty, yet out of consideration to her little friend, who had no share in the falsehood, he had said nothing.
This repulsiveness on the part of Napoleon was almost offensive, and must have been sensibly felt by my brother, who was not only remarkable for the mildness of his temper and the amenity and grace of his manner, but whose society was courted in the most distinguished circles of Paris on account of his accomplishments.

 Napoleon XIV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Napoleon XIV was the pseudonym of record producer Jerry Samuels (b 1938 New York City) who had moderate success with the song "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!", released in 1966 (reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart that year).
The song deals with mental illness brought about by the lover of the vocalist leaving him and was controversial at the time for its willingness to confront the subject directly—albeit humorously:
Napoleon XIV continued to release music after "They're Coming To Take Me Away", most of which continued with the mental illness theme (for example, the single "Bats In My Belfry").

Napoleon, although reconciling with the Pope (until annexing Rome and arresting him in 1809) and supposedly reintroducing some of the limitations on government of traditional society, even marrying a Hapsburg and producing a half-Hapsburg heir (Napoleon II), nevertheless was still ruthless beyond most precedent.
Defeated by Prussia, Napoleon abdicated and left France to its fate, but at least his last years of exile, in England itself, were rather more comfortable and honorable than Napoleon I's had been; but his son, sadly, died fighting the Zulus in the British Army.
This is to indicate that Napoleon was crowned by the Pope (Pius VII), as with the Mediaeval Emperors, but with the irregularity that it was not in Rome and, well, Napoleon actually took the crown out of the Pope's hands and crowned himself.
