	Polignac - LoveToKnow 1911
		The first member of the family who was of any historical importance was Cardinal Melchior de Polignac (1661-1742), a younger son of Armand XVI., marquis de Polignac, who at an early age achieved distinction as a diplomatist.
		His position and influence at court were largely due to his wife, Gabrielle de Polastron, the bosom friend of Marie Antoinette; the duke and duchess alike shared the unpopularity of the court, and were among the first to "emigrate" in 1789.
		His appointment was taken as symbolical of the king's intention to overthrow the constitution, and Polignac, with the other ministers, was held responsible for the policy which culminated in the issue of the Four Ordinances which were the immediate cause of the revolution of July 1830.

	Melchior de Polignac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Melchior de Polignac (October 11, 1661, Le Puy-en-Velay – November 20, 1742, Paris), was a French diplomat, Roman Catholic cardinal and neo-Latin poet.
		A younger son of Armand XVI, marquis de Polignac, he was born at Puy-en-Velay.
		The subsequent failure of this intrigue led to his temporary disgrace, but in 1702 he was restored to favour, and in 1712 he was sent as the plenipotentiary of Louis XIV of France to the congress of Utrecht.
