prince of conti

The title of Prince of Conti, assumed by a cadet branch of the house of Bourbon-Cond, was taken from Conti-sur-Selles, a small town of northern France, about 20 miles southwest of Amiens, which came into the Cond family by the marriage of Louis of Bourbon, first prince of Cond, with Eleanor de Roye in 1551. Franois de Bourbon (1558-1614), the third son of this marriage, was given the title of marquis de Conti, and between 1581 and 1597 was elevated to the rank of prince. Conti died in 1614 and since his only child Marie had predeceased him in 1610, the title lapsed. In 1629 the title of prince de Conti was revived in favor of Armand de Bourbon, prince de Conti (1629-1666), second son of Henry II, Prince of Cond, and brother of Louis, the great Cond.
