  Prince of Conti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title of Prince of Conti, assumed by a cadet branch of the house of Bourbon-Condé, was taken from Conti-sur-Selles, a small town of northern France, about 20 miles southwest of Amiens, which came into the Condé family by the marriage of Louis of Bourbon, first prince of Condé, with Eleanor de Roye in 1551.
François de Bourbon (1558-1614), the third son of this marriage, was given the title of marquis de Conti, and between 1581 and 1597 was elevated to the rank of prince.
In 1629 the title of prince de Conti was revived in favor of Armand de Bourbon, prince de Conti (1629-1666), second son of Henry II, Prince of Condé, and brother of Louis, the great Condé.

It is certain, however, that Poquelin was a close friend of the abbé La Mothe Le Vayer, the son of the famous philosopher, in the years in which the abbé was reordering his father's works, and this leads to the conclusion that Poquelin may have been influenced by them.

 Canadian Journal of History: Early modern Europe -- Revolt in Prerevolutionary France: The Prince de Conti's Conspiracy ...
Louis-Francois de Bourbon, prince de Conti (1717-76), a man with few religious convictions and many political ambitions, played a noteworthy role in the history of Jansenism and Protestantism in the middle of the eighteenth century.
The Parisians distanced themselves from these negotiations, and most of the provincials were dismayed when Conti, late in 1755 or early in 1756, outlined what looked like plans for a revolt.
John Woodbridge has reconstructed the complicated story of Conti's involvement with Jansenists and Protestants in the 1750s through careful detective work in many types of manuscript sources, including the reports of royal spies.
