The King's New Prime Minister - Jules De Polgnac

The king waited until after the chambers went into recess at the end of july 18 29 before making his surprise announcement that he was turning out the martignac government. Polignac had been born in teen 80 into an aristocratic family with close connections at court to marie antoinette. In every department, the new minister appointed by charles seemed designed to be provocative and unwelcome. Most weren't even particularly qualified for the jobs they were given. But they all shared a loyalty to charles and his ultra royalist principles. And after five years of being forced to work with men he did not like or agree with, this is what charles wanted.
