1693 1^ed Life Louis of Bourbon Prince of Conde Huguenot v Catholic France Coste

Louis of Bourbon was a notable 16^th-century Huguenot military leader who was the first Prince of the House of Conde. His life was led by much controversy including a Protestant conversion, secret plots against Francis II of France, and frequent skirmishes with the Catholic Church – which led to his arrest. The events of his life were best written by French author Pierre Coste in his book ‘Life of Louis of Bourbon’, more than 100 years following Louis’s death.

This rare 1693 English first edition of Coste’s account was translated out of the original French by Nahum Tate.
