	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.
		In 1695 he was sent as ambassador to Poland, where he contrived to bring about the election of the prince of Conti as successor to John Sobieski (1697).
		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.

	"Prince Polecat" A Sketch of General Camille Armand de Polignac

		His place in the front line was immediately handed to his brigadier, General de Polignac, whose upraised sword waved the soldiers onward up the hill.
		Polignac was every inch a soldier, and although a (French) volunteer on the Southern side, he went at it with a vim, and throughout that memorable campaign, displayed great heroism and great soldierly qualities.

		Born in “The Castle,” an enormous building made of solid granite located in Yonkers, New York, and raised in a modern mansion/playground dubbed "Wigwam” in the small English town of Paignton, Winnaretta was not the most likely figure to become the matron of the aristocratic salon in Belle Epoque Paris.
		Yet, thanks to the Singer fortune, a propitious marriage to Prince Edmond de Polignac, and her discerning ear for nascent talent, Winnaretta would ultimately establish a reputation for herself in mondain and avant-garde circles as the grande mécène of musical modernism.
		Kahan asserts that it was only by deciding to externally abide by such inflexible cultural codes that Singer-Polignac was able to enjoy the personal freedom she did.
