Emperor of Elba
Hi, thanks I did some research and found that the Treaty of Fontainebleau (1814) states, in article 2 that "Their Majesties the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Marie-Louise, will preserve their titles and qualities to enjoy them during their lives" and in article 3 that "The island of Elba, adopted by his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon, for the place of his residence, shall form, during his life, a separate principality, which shall be possessed by him in all sovereignty and property." There does not seem to an indication of him officially being called "Emperor of Elba" though he was still offically allowed to be called Emperor and officially possess Elba so you can see why people think this was an official title.
