Louis Henry II, Prince of Condé

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louis Henry II of Bourbon or Louis VI (April 13, 1756 ? August 30, 1830) was Prince of Condé from 1818 to his death.

He was the only son of Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé. Prior to his accession to the Condé title, he was known as the Duke of Bourbon. In 1770 he married Matilda of Bourbon-Orléans, daughter of Louis Philip I, Duke of Orléans and in 1772 their only son, Louis Antoine, Duke of Enghien, was born. The marriage was not a happy one and in 1780 the couple was separated and Louis never remarried.

Shortly afterwards, the Duke of Bourbon began a public affair with an opera singer, Marguerite Michelot, and had had two illegitimate daughters. During the French Revolution, he accompanied his father into exile in England and survived the purge of the House of Bourbon in France, which cost the life of King Louis XVI and his consort Marie-Antoinette of Austria, amongst others. The family returned to France during the rule of Napoleon I and recovered both the fortune and public status. In 1804, his son Louis Antoine, the duc d'Enghien, was executed in the moat of the castle of Vincennes on trumped up charges after being kidnapped under orders of Napoleon. He had been married to Charlotte of Rohan-Richefort for less than two months and had no issue. Without other sons, brothers or cousins, the line of Bourbon-Condé came to an end with the death under suspicious circumstances of Louis Henri in 1830, shortly after the July Revolution. His lands and wealth passed to his godson the duc d'Aumale Henri d'Orleans, the fourth son of Louis-Philippe of France (king Louis Philippe was the feudal-law heir to Conti and Condé, being grandson of Louise Henriette de Bourbon-Conti, a daughter of Louise Elisabeth de Bourbon-Condé, who was sister of Louis Henry's grandfather).
