Louis was educated in the principles of the reformed See also:religion
.
Brave though deformed, See also:gay but extremely poor for his See also:rank, Conde was led by his ambition to a military career
.
He fought with distinction in See also:Piedmont under See also:Marshal de See also:Brissac; in 1552 he forced his way with reinforcements into See also:Metz, then besieged by Charles V.; he led several brilliant sorties from that See also:town; and in 1554 commanded the See also:light See also:cavalry on the See also:Meuse against Charles
.
In 1557 he was See also:present at the See also:battle of St Quentin, and did further See also:good service at the See also:head of the light See also:horse

- CONSTABLE, SIR MARMADUKE (c. 1455-1518)
constable de Bourbon were still looked upon with suspicion in the See also:French See also:court, and Conde's services were ignored
.
The court designed to reduce his narrow means still further by despatching him upon a costly See also:mission to See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

Philip II. of See also:Spain
.
His See also:personal griefs thus combined with his religious views to force upon him a role of See also:political opposition
.
He was concerned in the See also:conspiracy of See also:Amboise, which aimed at forcing from the king the recognition of the reformed religion
.
He was consequently condemned to death, and was only saved by the decease of See also:Francis II
.
At the See also:accession of the boy-king Charles IX., the policy of the court was changed, and Conde received from See also:Catherine de' See also:Medici the See also:government of See also:Picardy
.
But the struggle between the Catholics and the See also:Huguenots soon began once more, and henceforward the career of Conde is the See also:story of the See also:wars of religion (see See also:FRANCE: See also:History)
.
He was the military as well as the political See also:chief of the Huguenot party, and displayed the highest generalship on many occasions, and notably at the battle of St See also:Denis
.
At the battle of See also:Jarnac, with only 400 horsemen, Conde rashly charged the whole See also:Catholic See also:army
.
Worn out with fighting, he at last gave up his See also:sword, and a Catholic officer named Montesquiou treacherously shot him through the head on the 13th of See also:March 1569
