Louis de Bourbon-Condé, comte de Clermont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis de Bourbon-Condé, comte de Clermont (15 June 1709-16 June 1771)[1], was a member of the cadet Bourbon-Condé branch of the French royal house.
[edit] Life
He was the third and youngest son of Louis III de Bourbon-Condé, prince de Condé (1668-1710) and Louise-Françoise de Bourbon, Mademoiselle de Nantes (1673-1743), an illegitimate daughter of King Louis XIV of France and his mistress Madame de Montespan. He was also the great-grandson of Louis II de Bourbon-Condé, prince de Condé, the Great Condé, who died in 1687.
His oldest brother, Louis Henri I, duc de Bourbon (later prince de Condé) (1692-1740) was the head of Bourbon-Condé family from 1710 to his death, and was King Louis XV's Premier Ministre (prime minister) from 1723 to 1726.
The comte de Clermont is perhaps best known to history as the fifth Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of France, the supreme Masonic authority in France, which existed from 1728/29 to c.1773.[2]
He was elected and installed in that office in 1743 and retained the position until his death, and was succeeded by his nephew, Philippe II d'Orléans known as the duc de Chartres, afterwards duc d'Orleans.[3]
