'''Philippe de Noailles, comte de Noailles''' and later '''prince de Poix, duc de Mouchy, and duc de Poix ''à brevêt''''' (27 December 1715 in [[Paris]]{{snd}}27 June 1794 in Paris), was a younger brother of [[Louis de Noailles]], and a more distinguished soldier than his brother. He was the son of [[Françoise Charlotte d'Aubigné]], niece of [[Madame de Maintenon]].{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=723}}

==Life==
He served at [[Battle of Minden|Minden]] and in other campaigns, and was made a [[marshal of France]] in 1775, on the same day as his brother. He was long in great favour at court, and his wife, [[Anne d'Arpajon, comtesse de Noailles|Anne d'Arpajon, Comtesse de Noailles]], was first lady of honour to [[Marie Antoinette]], and was nicknamed by her Madame [[Etiquette]]. This court favor brought down punishment in the days of the [[French Revolution]], and the old marshal, his sister, his wife, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all [[guillotine]]d on 27 June 1794.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=723}} Twenty-five days later, the widow, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter of the 4th Duc de Noailles were also guillotined.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

The Comte de Noailles received the [[Spain|Spanish]] title of Prince de Poix in 1729, and that of [[Duke of Mouchy|Duque de Mouchy]] with [[Grandee|Grandeeship]] attached in 1747. In 1767, he received the additional French title of Duc de Poix ''à brevêt.'' The title of Prince de Poix passed to his son, Charles-Adrien, as a [[courtesy title]] on the latter's birth in 1747, and after the child's death later that year and the infant deaths of two more sons, came to rest on Noailles's successor, [[Philippe-Louis-Marc-Antoine de Noailles, 1st duc de Mouchy|Philippe-Louis-Marc-Antoine]].{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

Two of de Noailles's three surviving sons, [[Philippe-Louis-Marc-Antoine de Noailles, 1st duc de Mouchy|Philippe-Louis-Marc-Antoine]] and [[Louis Marie de Noailles|Louis-Marie]], were members of the [[National Constituent Assembly (France)|National Constituent Assembly]];{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=723}} Louis-Marie's wife died with his parents.
