They descended from Jean, seigneur de Carency (1378–1457), the youngest son of Jean I de Bourbon, Count of La Marche. Since 1733, all legitimate male Capetians were of the House of Bourbon, of the Vendôme branch, descended from Charles, Duke of Vendôme. Charles' eldest son Antoine, King of Navarre, was the ancestor of the royal dynasties of France and Spain, and of the House of Orléans, while his youngest son Louis, Prince of Condé (1530–1569), was the ancestor of the House of Condé. A cadet branch of the Condés was the House of Conti, who in male line descended of Henri, Prince of Condé (1588–1646). In an edict of July 1714, Louis XIV declared his legitimized sons, the Duke of Maine and Count of Toulouse, to be "princes du sang" and accorded them rights of succession to the French throne following all other "princes du sang". Though the "Parlement de Paris" refused to register the decree, the king exercised his right to compel registration by conducting a "lit de justice". The edict was revoked and annulled on 18 August 1715 by the "Parlement" on the authority of the regent after the king's death. As a chancellor of Louis XIV had warned, a king could only make princes of the blood through his queen. Those who held this rank were usually styled by their main ducal peerage, but sometimes other titles were used, indicating a more precise status than "prince du sang". The most senior princes used specific styles such as "monsieur le prince" or "monsieur le duc", whereas the junior princes used the style "monseigneur" followed by their noble title, such as "monseigneur le duc de Montpensier". The style Serene Highness ("altesse sérénissime") was used in writing only. This was the style of the First Prince of the Blood (), which normally belonged to the most senior (by primogeniture) male member of the royal dynasty who is neither a "fils de France" ("son of France", i.e. of the King or the Dauphin") nor a "petit-fils de France" ("grandson of France", son of a "fils de France"). In practice, it was not always clear who was entitled to the rank, and it often took a specific act of the king to make the determination.
