‱History

Louis-Armand II de Bourbon, prince de Conti (born Nov. 10, 1695, Paris—died May 4, 1727, Paris) , was treated with great liberality by Louis XIV and also by the regent, Philippe, duc d’OrlĂ©ans. He served under Marshal Villars in the War of the Spanish Succession, but he lacked the soldierly qualities of his father. In 1713 he married Louise-Élisabeth (1693–1775), daughter of Louis-Henri de Bourbon, 7th prince of CondĂ©, and granddaughter of Louis XIV. He was a prominent supporter of the financial schemes of John Law, by which he made large sums of money.
