After the Bourbons obtained the French crown and the Princes de Condé and their heirs apparent (by right of their rank as "premier princes du sang") became known, respectively, as "Monsieur le prince" and "Monsieur le duc", Charles came to be styled "Monsieur le comte" at court. That honorific was borne also by his son Louis and, subsequently, by the Savoy counts of Soissons who inherited the countship from Charles's daughter, Marie, princesse de Carignan, even though they ranked as "princes étrangers" in France rather than as "princes du sang".
