    "verified_text": "louis armand de bourbon, prince de conti (1606-1727), eldest son of the preceding, was treated with great liberality by louis xiv., and also by the regent, philip duke of orleans. 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 elisabeth (1693-1775), daughter of louis henri de bourbon, prince de conde, and grand-daughter of louis xiv. he was a prominent supporter of the financial schemes of john law, by which he made large sums of money. louis francois de bourbon, prince de conti (1717-1776), only son of the preceding, adopted a military career, and when the war of the austrian succession broke out in 1741 accompanied charles louis, duc de belle-isle, to bohemia. his services there led to his appointment to command the army in italy, where he distinguished himself by forcing the pass of villafranca and winning the battle of coni in 1744. in 1745 he was sent to check the imperialists in germany, and in 1746 was transferred to the netherlands, where some jealousy between marshal saxe and himself led to his retirement in 1747. in this year a faction among the polish nobles offered conti the crown of that country, where owing to the feeble health of king augustus iii. a vacancy was expected. he won the personal support of louis xv. for his candidature, although the policy of the french ministers was to establish the house of saxony in poland, as the dauphiness was a daughter of augustus. louis therefore began secret personal relations with his ambassadors in eastern europe, who were thus receiving contradictory instructions; a policy known later as the _secret du roi_. although conti did not secure the polish throne he remained in the confidence of louis until 1755, when his influence was destroyed by the intrigues of madame de pompadour; so that when the seven years' war broke out in 1756 he was refused the command of the army of the rhine, and began the opposition to the administration which caused louis to refer to him as \"my cousin the advocate.\" in 1771 he was prominent in opposition to the chancellor maupeou. he supported the parlements against the ministry, was especially active in his hostility to turgot, and was suspected of aiding a rising which took place at dijon in 1775. conti, who died on the 2nd of august 1776, inherited literary tastes from his father, was a brave and skilful general, and a diligent student of military history. his house, over which the comtesse de boufflers presided, was the resort of many men of letters, and he was a patron of jean jacques rousseau. louis francois joseph, prince de conti (1734-1814), son of the preceding, possessed considerable talent as a soldier, and distinguished himself during the seven years' war. he took the side of maupeou in the struggle between the chancellor and the parlements, and in 1788 declared that the integrity of the constitution must be maintained. he emigrated owing to the weakness of louis xvi., but refused to share in the plans for the invasion of france, and returned to his native country in 1790. arrested by order of the national convention in 1793, he was acquitted, but was reduced to poverty by the confiscation of his possessions. he afterwards received a pension, but the directory banished him from france, and as he refused to share in the plots of the royalists he lived at barcelona till his death in 1814, when the house of conti became extinct. see f. de bassompierre, _memoires_ (paris, 1877); g. tallemant des reaux, _historiettes_ (paris, 1854-1860); l. de r. duc de saint simon, _memoires_ (paris, 1873); c. e. duchesse d'orleans, _memoires_ (paris, 1880); r. l. marquis d'argenson, _journal et memoires_ (paris, 1859-1865); f. j. de p. cardinal de bernis, _memoires et lettres_ (paris, 1878); j. v. a. duc de broglie, _le secret du roi_ (paris, 1878); p. a. cheruel, _histoire de la minorite de louis xiv et du ministere de mazarin_ (paris, 1879); e. boutaric, _correspondence secrete de louis xv sur la politique etrangere_ (paris, 1866); p. foncin, _essai sur le ministere de turgot_ (paris, 1877); e. bourgeois _neuchatel et la politique prussienne en franche-comte_ (paris, 1877).",
