Duke of Enghien

Like many noble titles, the title of Duke of Enghien, Duke d'Enghien, or Duc d'Enghien may refer to any of several historical figures, but most often refers to Louis-Antoine-Henri de Bourbon-Condé, duc d'Enghien, whose execution on trumped-up charges in 1804 during the First French Empire removed any hope of reconciliation between Napoleon Bonaparte and the House of Bourbon. The Duc was executed in the moat of the Chateau de Vincennes.
The title was first conferred on Louis de Bourbon, 1st Prince of Condé, whose county of Enghien was elevated to a duchy-peerage in 1566. However, the necessary registration process was not completed, so the title became extinct at his death in 1569. His grandson Henri II, 3rd Prince of Condé was created Duc de Montmorency in 1633, and in 1689 the Montmorency title was renamed as Duc d'Enghien for his son Louis II, 2nd Duc de Montmorency and 4th Prince of Condé. The title "Duc d'Enghien" was thereafter used as a courtesy title for the eldest son of the Prince de Condé. For a list of Dukes of this second creation, see under Duc de Montmorency.
