- Soissons, Louis de Bourbon, Count de
-
▪ French courtier and soldier
born 1604, Paris, Fr.
died July 6, 1641, La Marfée, near Sedan
courtier and soldier in the intrigues between Marie de Médicis, Louis XIII, and Cardinal de Richelieu.
The only son of Charles de Bourbon, he inherited his father's Soissons title in 1612. After taking the side of
Marie De Médicis, the
queen mother,
in 1620, he served Louis XIII against the Huguenots in 1622. Later involved in intrigues against Cardinal de Richelieu, he is alleged to have plotted to assassinate him at Amiens in 1636, after a campaign against the Spanish Habsburgs in Picardy.
In 1637 he fled to Sedan, a principality just across France's eastern frontier; other malcontents joined him; and in 1641 he published a manifesto against Richelieu and invaded France with a Habsburg army. He defeated the Marshal de Chatillon (Gaspard III de Coligny) at La Marfée on July 6, 1641, but was killed by a mysterious shot at the moment of his victory.
He had only one child, a bastard son, Louis-Henry, known as the Chevalier de Soissons (1646–1703). The count's surviving sister, Marie, had married Thomas of Savoy, Prince of Carignano, in 1625; and thus their youngest son, Eugène-Maurice de Savoie-Carignan (1633–73), assumed the title Count de Soissons.
