Polignac

Yolande de Polastron, Duchess of Polignac (Yolande Martine Gabrielle; 8 September 1749 – 9 December 1793) was the favourite of Marie Antoinette, whom she met when she was presented at the Palace of Versailles in 1775, the year after Marie Antoinette became the Queen of France. She was considered one of the great beauties of pre-Revolutionary society, but her extravagance and exclusivity earned her many enemies.[1][2] Born 8 September 1749 Paris, France Died 9 December 1793 (aged 44) Vienna, Austria, Holy Roman Empire Spouse Jules de Polignac ​(m. 1767)​ Issue Aglaé de Polignac Armand de Polignac Jules de Polignac Camille de Polignac Father Jean François Gabriel de Polastron, Duc de Polastron Mother Jeanne Charlotte Hérault
