In 911 he was elected king of Germany, but Arnulf, duke of Bavaria, and Henry, duke of Saxony, disputed his title, and engaged the Huns to overrun Germany. Conrad is said to have received a mortal wound in combat with these revolted chiefs. D. 918. CONRAD II., Son of Henry, duke of Franc on i a, was elected king of Germany in 1024. Attempts were made to dis- place him, but without succe , and in 1027 was crowned emperor at Rome, in the presence of Canute, king of England, and Rudolph, king of Burgundy. As heir to Rudolph, who died in 1033, Conrad became king of Bur- gundy. D. 1039. CONRAD III., duke of Franc on i a, of the house of Hohen- stauffen, B. in 1093, was elected emperor in 1138. His title was disputed by Henry the Proud, duke of Saxony, and the rivalry of these two princes was the germ of the factions afterwards so famous under the names of Guelfs and Ghi bel lines. In 1146, at the diet held at Spire, Conrad was persuaded by the eloquence of St. Bernard to undertake a crusade, on which he set out the follow- ing year. It was fruitle and disastrous, and Conrad returned with the wreck of his army in 1149. D. 1152. CONRAD IV., duke of Suabia, chosen king of the Romans in 1237, was son of the great Emperor Frederick II., and like him was excommunicated by the pope, Innocent IV., who set up a rival emperor in William, count of Holland. On the death of his father, in 1250, Conrad marched into Italy to recover the towns which had de- clared against him. He took Naples, but could not get the investiture of the kingdom of Sicily from the pope. Died suddenly in Italy, 1254. See CONRADIN.

As the greatest part of the po e ions of his family had been swept away, C. accepted the invitation of the Ital- ian Ghi bel lines to place himself at their head. He cro ed the Alps with 10,000 men; was well received at Verona, and, notwithstanding the treason of his rela- tives Me in hard and Louis of Bavaria, who left him with but 3,000 men, he entered South Italy.

Consanguin'eal, a. Of the same blood; cons an- guineous. (R.) Consanguin'eous, a. [Lat. consanguine us , from con, and sanguis , sanguinis , blood; Fr. consanguin.] Of the same blood; related by birth; descended from the same parent or ancestor. Consanguin'ity, n. [Fr. cons an gui nité; Lat. con- sanguinitas.) ( Law .) The relationship between per- sons descended from a common ancestor; and is either lineal, between persons of whom one is descended in a direct line from the other (son, father, grandfather, .), or collateral, between such as lineally descend from the same ancestor (brothers, cousins, .). In lineal con- sanguinity, the father is related in the first degree to the son, the grandfather in the second, and so forth. In collateral, the computation is by beginning at the com- mon ancestor and reckoning downward to the more re- mote of the persons compared; thus brothers are kin- dred in the first degree; uncle and nephew, or first cousins, in the second degree, and so forth.

[Fr., from Lat. conscient i a , from con , and scio, sciens, scient is, to know; Ger. gewi en.] A knowing of a thing along with another or others; joint or twofold knowledge the one of a divine law or rule felt in the heart, and the other of a man's own act; in- ternal knowledge or judgment of right and wrong. - The moral sense; the faculty within us by which our actions are tried and judged by the divine law or stand- ard, either revealed or written in the heart, and by which they are instantly approved or condemned. The estimate or determination of conscience; justice; hon- esty; real sentiment; private thoughts; truth. (Ethics.) According to its ancient usage among the Latins, the word conscient i a was primarily applied to being privy to, together with another; and in its sec on- dary meaning it bore a moral signification, or knowledge of one's own conduct, whether right or wrong. The modern use of the word is more extensive in its sense, denoting not only what the Latin moralists signified by it, not only the sense of the difference between right and wrong in our own and others' conduct, but contain- ing likewise the important element of the feeling of human responsibility. Thus conscience, as it is at pres- ent accepted, is not only applied to the moral judgment which accompanies all moral actions, as to whether they are right or wrong, but it denotes, besides, that feeling of approbation or disapprobation, of rectitude or contrition, which invariably accompanies all moral the doctrines of realism, and accept those of idealism, Consent ane'ity, n.
