Conrad-Albert was born in Brussels to François, 2nd Count of Ursel.[1] During his childhood, his father purchased the rank of captain for him.[2] He fought under the service of Leopold I during the Great Turkish War. He also served in the Spanish army; he was appointed general of the armies in 1696. In 1704, Conrad-Albert was appointed Grand Bailiff of Hainault.[1]
In 1713, Conrad-Albert married Eléonore, Princess of Salm, in Roermond; as a gift for the marriage, he was gifted the title Baron of Wesemael by Charles-Hubert-Augustin Schetz, his cousin. Conrad-Albert and Eléonore had two children, Charles, 2nd Duke d'Ursel and Benoite-Charlotte, Count d'Ursel.[3]
In August 1716, Conrad-Albert was created Duke of Ursel; he was created Duke of Hoboken the following year.[4][5] In 1718, he was appointed governor of Namur, though this officially occurred in 1732.[1] After the death of Charles-Hubert-Augustin Schetz in 1726, he inherited the title Lord of Wesemael, making him Hereditary Marshal of Brabant.[1]
