Condé, Henri I de Bourbon, 2nd Prince of Condé

    0.13 sec.

Condé, Henri I de Bourbon, 2nd Prince of Condé (1552-1588)

French Huguenot leader. He fought for Henry of Navarre under Gaspard de Coligny, against the Catholic nobles in the French Wars of Religion. He embraced the Catholic faith to save his life after the Massacre of St Bartholomew in 1572, but on the death of King Charles IX in 1574 he recanted and went to Germany, where he raised an army and in 1575 joined the leader of the moderate Catholics, François d'Anjou, Duke of Alençon (1554-84). He was eventually taken prisoner.

He was the son of Louis I de Bourbon, Prince of Condé.
