Louis Joseph of Bourbon or Louis V (August 9, 1736 – May 13, 1818) was Prince of Condé from 1740 to his death. He was the only son of Louis Henry I and Charlotte of Hesse-Rotenburg. Louis Joseph occupied an important place in the French court, where he was Chief of the House of the King. He was also Governor of Burgundy and a general in the French army. Louis was forced to escape from the country during the French Revolution to avoid prison and trial. This decision proved right, since during the Terror all the Bourbons living in France were arrested (cf. Philippe Egalité, Duke of Orléans, executed in 1793). He spent his exile in England, where he married for the second time with another refugee Marie-Catherine de Bignole-Sale, but sometime in the early 19th century, Louis returned to Paris, where he died in 1818.
