louis franois ii, prince of conti

Louis Franois Joseph de Bourbon (September 1 1734 - March 13 1814) was Prince of Conti, succeding his father Louis Franois I. Louis Franois possessed considerable talent as a soldier, and distinguished himself during the Seven Years War. He took the side of Maupeou in the struggle between the chancellor and the parlements, and in 1788 declared that the integrity of the constitution must be maintained. He emigrated following the French Revolution, but refused to share in the plans for the invasion of France, and returned to his native country in 1790. Arrested by order of the National Convention in 1793, he was acquitted, but was reduced to poverty by the confiscation of his possessions. He afterwards received a pension, but the Directory banished him from France, and as he refused to share in the plots of the royalists he lived at Barcelona till his death in 1814, when the house of Conti became extinct.
