"While it has occasionally been used as a courtesy title in the French royal family, a branch of the de Condé family still maintains it and has campaigned openly for recognition of their right to continue its use on official stationery. Their case is one of religious persecution, having suffered internal exile during the latter parts of the Seventeenth Century and finally fled to England in 1609, the Huguenot branch of the House of Bourbon believes that they are entitled to have the title restored through an illegitimate heir as in 1598."
It is complete forgery : no branches of the french royal family had ever fled to England because of religious persecution. In 1609 the only Condé prince was Henri II (b. 1588), a catholic, who briefly fled to the United Provinces only in order to keep his wife off the grasp of king Henri IV ! In 1609 the edict of Nantes guaranteed religious tolerance in France. The religious persecution began with the edict of Fontainebleau in 1685.
