Information About

Duke Of Enghien




The title was first conferred on Louis De Bourbon, 1st Prince Of Condé , whose county of Enghien (modern-day Belgium ) 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 inherited the Duchy Of Montmorency (near Paris ) in 1633 , and in 1689 the duchy of Montmorency was renamed as "duchy of 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 .
