LOUIS See also:HENRY See also:JOSEPH , See also:duke of See also:Bourbon (1756-1830), son of the last named, was the last See also:prince of See also:Conde. Several of the earlier events of his See also:life, especially his See also:marriage with the princess See also:Louise of See also:Orleans, and the See also:duel that the conate d'See also:Artois provoked by raising the See also:veil of the princess at a masked See also:ball, caused much See also:scandal. At the Revolution he fought with the See also:army of the emigres in See also:Liege. Between the return of See also:Napoleon from See also:Elba and the See also:battle of See also:Waterloo, he headed with no success a royalist rising in La See also:Vendee. In 1829 he made a will by which he appointed as his See also:heir the duc d'See also:Aumale, and made some considerable bequests to his See also:mistress, the baronne de See also:Feucheres (q.v.). On the 27th of See also:August 183o he was found hanged on the fastening of his window. A See also:crime was generally suspected, and the princes de See also:Rohan, who were relatives of the deceased, disputed the will. Their See also:petition, however, was dismissed by the courts.. Two See also:cadet branches of the See also:house of Conde played an important See also:part: those of See also:Soissons and See also:Conti. The first, sprung from See also:Charles of Bourbon (b: 1566), son of Louis I., prince of Conde, became See also:extinct in the legitimate male See also:line in 1641. The second took its origin from Armand of Bourbon, See also:born in 1629, son of Henry II., prince of Conde, and survived up to 1814. See Muret, L'Histoire de 1'armee de Conde; Chamballand, See also:Vie de Louis Joseph, prince de Conde; Cretineau-Joly, Histoire See also:des trois derniers princes de la maison de Conde; and Histoire des princes de Conde, by the duc d'Aumale (translated by R.

B. Borthwick, 1872).
