[edit] Biography

Henri Jules was born to Louis II de Bourbon, Prince de Condé and his wife in 1643; 5 years younger then Louis XIV, he was the only surviving child of his parents and thus heir to the enormous Condé fortune and property. His mother was a niece of Cardinal Richelieu. He was baptised at the Église Saint-Sulpice, Paris on his day of birth. For the first three years of his life he was the duc d'Albret, his father being the duc d'Enghien.

At the death of his grand father he then bore the courtesy title of duc d'Enghien. As a member of the reigning House of Bourbon, he was a Prince du Sang and had the style Serene Highness.

Mental illness inherited from his mother's family was very much part of the life of Henri Jules. He was anorexic, ugly, debauched and brutal.

He was destined for a military career and, in 1673, was in charge of the Rhine front. But this was just in name, because Henry lacked the military skills of his father. He was well educated but had a malicious character.

He married Anne Henriette of Bavaria in the chapel of the Palais du Louvre, in Paris, in December 1663. The bride was the daughter of Edward, Count Palatine of Simmern, a prince of the Palatine. Her mother was the famous political hostess, Anna Gonzaga. The couple had ten children. The young princess, very pious generous and charitable, was well praised by many at court due to her very supportive nature towards her husband. Despite that Henri Jules, prone to great rages, would often beat his quiet wife.^[1]

He also had an illegitimate daughter by Françoise-Charlotte de Montalais; their child, Julie de Bourbon was known variously as Julie de Bourbon, Julie de Guenani (an anagram for Anguien, an alternative spelling for the family name of Enghien; her grandfather Louis II, 'le Grand Condé' was also duc d'Enghien) and Mademoiselle de Châteaubriant.Henri Jules made her legitimate in 1693 when she was twenty-five. She died on 10 March 1710, aged forty-three.

He was succeeded by his only son, Louis III, Prince of Condé.
