Henri, Prince of Condé
Noble person
1588 – 1646
Who was Henri, Prince of Condé?
Henri de Bourbon became Prince of Condé shortly after his birth, following the death of his father Henri I. As a member of the reigning House of Bourbon, he was a Prince du Sang.
He married Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency in 1609 and had three children, all of them protagonists of the Fronde.
Reportedly, Henry IV fancied Charlotte and arranged a marriage with Condé to provide cover for an affair. But Condé escaped with his wife first to Brussels and later to Milan. Since both places were under House of Habsburg rule, the Condé affair became part of an international conflict during the War of the Jülich Succession.
