Marie Louise 1791-1847
Empress of France
Born in Vienna, Austria, she was the daughter of Francis I of Austria. She married Napoleon I in 1810 (after his divorce from Joséphine), and bore him a son (1811), who was created King of Rome and became Napoleon II. On Napoleon's abdication (1814) she returned to Austria, and was awarded the duchy of Parma. In 1822 she contracted a morganatic marriage with Count von Neipperg (c.1829) and another with the Count of Bombelles (1834).

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
