He was treated with great liberality by Louis XIV of France, and also by the regent the Duke Philippe II of Orléans. He served under Marshal Villars in the War of the Spanish Succession, but he lacked the soldierly qualities of his father. In 1713 he married Louise Elisabeth of Bourbon-Condé (1693-1775), daughter of Louis Henri de Bourbon, and grand-daughter of Louis XIV. Louis Armand was a prominent supporter of the financial schemes of John Law, by which he made large sums of money.
