Louis de Pardaillan de Gondrin (15 February 1727[1] – 1737[2] or 1757[3]) was a French nobleman.

Life

Born at Versailles, he was the only son of the Duke of Antin and through his father he was descended from the house of Pardaillan de Gondrin, an old noble family of Gascon origin. His paternal great-grandmother was Madame de Montespan. His paternal grandmothers remarriage to Louis-Alexandre de Bourbon (an illegitimate son of Louis XIV) would bring the family even closer to the French royals.

His mother Françoise Gillonne de Montmorency, daughter of the Duke of Piney-Luxemburg and a granddaughter of the maréchal de Luxembourg

He was baptized at the Chapel of Versailles on 25 July 1728 by Armand de Rohan.[1] He was styled the Marquis of Gondrin.[2]

He served as the governor of Orleanais[4] and after the death of his paternal uncle governor of Alsace.[5]

Death

He died at the age of 25 of smallpox[6] at Kloster Zeven while serving as marechal de camp in the French army stationed in Bremen, Germany[6] during the French army's invasion of Hannover during the Seven Years' War.

He was buried on the 14th of September in the churchyard at Kloster Zeven.[7]

As he died unmarried and without children he was the final Duke of Antin.[2]

His three younger sister would then come to inherit the wealth and estates of Pardaillain de Gondrin.
