Biography
Charles de Bourbon was the second son of Louis III , Duke de Bourbon and Prince Conde, from his marriage to Louise Francoise of Nantes ( 1673 - 1743 ), the illegitimate daughter of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan . After the death of his father in 1710, he received the title of Count of Charles and thus became a peer of France.
In 1719, Charles de Bourbon fought under the leadership of Eugene of Savoy with the Turks, in 1720 he became governor of Touraine . In 1722-1723 he was a member of the Regency Council, which ruled France until the coming of age of King Louis XV . In 1740, Count Charolais became the guardian of his young nephew Louis Joseph , who became the next Prince of Conde.
Since Louis was not married and did not leave legal offspring, the county of Charolais after his death returned to the crown.
