Henri I. de Bourbon, prince de Condé

Henri I. de Bourbon (born December 29, 1552 in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre , † March 5, 1588 in Saint-Jean-d'Angély ) was a French general and leader of the Protestants during the Huguenot Wars . He was a son of Louis I de Bourbon and thus second Prince of Condé .

Life

As a Huguenot leader, he fought alongside his cousin Heinrich of Navarre, the future King Henry IV.

After the Peace of St. Germain in 1570 he retired to Castle Béarn and in 1572 married Marie de Clèves (1553–1574), daughter of Duke François I de Clèves . On Bartholomew's Night (August 23/24, 1572) he was captured and forced to convert to Catholicism.

In 1574 he fled to Alsace and gathered new Huguenot troops. Unsuccessful in the next civil war, he was finally expelled to Guernsey in 1585 . After his return to France he married Charlotte de la Trémoille (1568–1629), daughter of Louis III, Duke of Thouars , who renounced the Catholic faith because of him. In 1587 he was wounded in the Battle of Coutras (October 20, 1587) and succumbed to his injuries a year later. Rumor has it that his wife Charlotte poisoned him.
