That's the question. Basically, who would succeed Napoleon after one his assassination attempts that never where. He had three that I know off.

Plot of the Rue Saint-Nicaise; December 24, 1800

He hand't crowned himself Empower yet, so the consulate would continue under Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès and Charles-François Lebrun, duc de Plaisance, But how would replace Napoleon?

The d'Enghien Affair; 1804

His older brother Joseph would probably be monarch in this case.

Could a coup d'etat start? Maybe under Talleyrand? In that case all hell could break lose. But with Napoleon gone I'd imagine the Coalition would be ready for peace, and Talleyrand willing to give up at least some, or maybe even all of Frances gains.

Assassination attempt in Vienna, October 12 1809

Probaly the something similar to the above.

However, what if Napoleon was killed after 1810? It would be the infant Napoleon II as monarch, but obviously under a regency. The question is who would head the regency?

Is these speculations accurate?
