Sacred Archbishop of Cambrai in 1720, Prime Minister in 1722, he died on August 10, 1723. France declared war on Spain in 1719 to prevent Philip V from overthrowing the Regent. The capture of San Sebastian and Hondarribia marks the end of hostilities. In 1720, Philippe V joined the Quadruple Alliance and renounced the throne of France by the Treaty of Madrid.
