The title of Prince of Conti, assumed by a cadet branch of the house of Bourbon-Condé, was taken from Conti-sur-Selles, a small town of northern France, about 20 miles southwest of Amiens, which came into the Condé family by the marriage of Louis of Bourbon, first prince of Condé, with Eleanor de Roye in 1551.
François 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.
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 Condé, and brother of Louis, the great Condé.
FRAN0IS (1558-1614), the third son of this marriage, was given the, title of marquis dc Conti., and between 1581 and 1597 was elevated to the rank of a prince.
Conti, who belonged to the older faith, appears to have taken no part in the wars of religion until 1587, when his distrust of Henry, third duke of Guise, caused him to declare against the League, and to support Henry of Navarre, afterwards King Henry IV.
Conti, who died on the 2nd of August 1776, inherited literary tastes from his father, was a brave and skilful general, arid a diligent student of military history.
