He also sired two children with Maria Giulia, the Countess of Atri (Giulio, born 1806 and Teresa, born 1808).
In 1795 Joseph was a member of the Council of Ancients where he used his position to help his brother overthrow the Directory.
The Château de Villandry had been seized by the French Revolutionary government and in the early 1800s Joseph's brother, Emperor Napoleon, acquired the château for him. The Château de Villandry is located in Villandry, in the département of Indre-et-Loire, France. The French Revolution (1789–1799 was a period of political and social upheaval in the History of France, during which the French governmental structure previously an In 1806, Bonaparte was given military command of Naples, and shortly afterward was made king by Napoleon, to be relaced after two years by his sister's husband, Joachim Murat, when Joseph was made king of Spain in Sugust 1808, soon after the French invasion. Naples ( Napoli, Neapolitan: Nàpule) is a historic City in southern Italy, the Capital of the Joachim-Napoléon Murat (born Joachim Murat) ( Gioacchino Napoleone Murat) ( March 25 1767 &ndash October 13 1815)
He somewhat reluctantly left Naples and arrived in Spain just in time for their revolt against French rule, and the beginning of the Peninsular War, in which the French were eventually expelled by Spanish and British armies. The Peninsular War or Spanish War of Independence pitted an alliance of Spain, the United Kingdom, and Portugal against France After retreating with much of his army to northern Spain he attempted to abdicate the Spanish throne and exchange it back for the Neapolitan Throne; Napoleon dismissed this as out of hand and sent reinforcements to assist in suppressing Spain. The rest of his reign there would be tenuous and constantly warring with Spanish guerrillas. Guerrilla warfare is the unconventional warfare and combat with which a small group of combatants use mobile tactics (ambushes raids etc He would never establish complete control over the country.
The Spanish people nicknamed him Pepe Botella ("Bottle Joe") and the usual hypothesis has to do with an alleged tendency to drunkenness. Another theory though, points the name as a maligned confusion where when Joseph Bonaparte went outside of the castle where he resided, he looked around with a spyglass - which looked like a bottle, or was made to look like a bottle by his detractors.
Joseph Bonaparte's supporters were called josefinos or afrancesados (frenchified). Afrancesado ( " Francophiles quot or "turned- French " "Francisized" was the term used to denote Spanish and Portuguese Afrancesado ( " Francophiles quot or "turned- French " "Francisized" was the term used to denote Spanish and Portuguese During his reign, he ended the Spanish Inquisition, partly because Napoleon was at odds with Pope Pius VII at the time.

During his rule of Spain, Venezuela declared independence (1810) from Spain, the first nation to do so. During the Peninsular War, his command of French forces in Spain proved to be only nominal, as his commanders insisted on checking with the king's younger brother before carrying out Joseph's instructions. The Peninsular War or Spanish War of Independence pitted an alliance of Spain, the United Kingdom, and Portugal against France
Bonaparte abdicated and returned to France after defeat at the Battle of Vitoria.
