The only surviving son of Francois Louis, Prince de Conti so disliked
by Louis XIV, he was nevertheless treated with great liberality by this
king. He served under Marshal Villars in the War of the Spanish Succession,
although he lacked the soldierly qualities of his father. As a prominent
supporter of the financial schemes of John Law, he made large sums of money.
