	Ãtienne-FranÃ§ois de Choiseul - Definition, explanation
		Choiseul war der Ã¤lteste Sohn von FranÃ§ois Joseph de Choiseul, Marquis de Stainville und trug in seinen frÃ¼hren Jahren den Titel Comte de Stainville.
		Choiseul gewann die Gunst von Madame Pompadour, indem er ihr einige Briefe beschaffte, die Ludwig XV an seine Cousine Madame de Choiseul geschrieben hatte.
		Choiseul arbeitete sowohl mit FÃ¤higkeit als auch mit FleiÃ, und obwohl es ihm an HartnÃ¤ckigkeit fehlte, zeigte er in seiner AmtsfÃ¼hrung Voraussicht und LiberalitÃ¤t.

	Etienne-François, Duc de Choiseul
		Choiseul negotiated with Benedict XIV, and the Bull "Ex Omnibus", solicited by Louis XV, was the occasion of numerous conferences between Rome and Versailles, being finally published, 16 October, 1756.
		Choiseul's great political achievement in Europe, known as the "Family Compact" or alliance of all the Bourbons, has been widely discussed and he has been censured for not having understood the Polish question.
		Hence, in 1762, Choiseul was quite ready to have parliament close the Jesuit colleges and, in 1764, decree the suppression of the Society in France.

		Thus from the very first she appeared in the light of a partisan, having against her all the enemies of Choiseul and of the Austrian alliance, and was already given the nickname of "l'autrichienne" by mesdames the king's aunts.
		Thus for the benefit of Madame de Lamballe the queen revived the superfluous and expensive office of superintendent of her household, which led constant disagreements and jealousies among her ladies and offended many important families.
		Thus she was often led to interfere for frivolous reasons in public affairs, sometimes with serious results, as in the case of the trial of the comte de Guines (1776), when her interference was responsible for the fall of Turgot.

	Étienne François, duc de Choiseul
		Although from 1761 until 1766 his cousin César, duc de Choiseul-Praslin (1712-1785), was minister for foreign affairs, yet Choiseul continued to control the policy of France until 1770, and during this period held most of the other important offices of state.
		Choiseul's fall was caused by his action towards the Jesuits, and by his support of their opponent La Chalotais, and of the provincial parlements.
		After the death of Madame de Pompadour in 1764, his enemies, led by Madame du Barry and the chancellor Maupeou, were too strong for him, and in 1770 he was ordered to retire to his estate at Chanteloupe.
