Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DILLON, ARTHUR RICHARD (172I-1807) , French arch-
bishop
 , was the son of Arthur Dillon (167o-1733), an Irish
gentleman
  who became general in the French service. He was born at St Germain, entered the priesthood and was successively cure of Elan near Mezieres,
vicar
 -general of Pontoise (1747),
bishop
  of Evreux (1753) and archbishop of Toulouse (1758), archbishop of Narbonne in 1763, and in that capacity, president o: the estates of
Languedoc
 . He devoted himself much less to the spiritual direction of his diocese than to its temporal welfare, carrying out many works of public utility, bridges, canals, roads, harbours, &c.; had chairs of
chemistry
  and of physics created at Montpellier and at Toulouse, and tried to reduce the poverty, 'especially in Narbonne. In 1787 and in 1788 he was a member of the Assembly of Notables called together by Louis XVI., and in 1788 presided over the assembly of the clergy. Having refused to accept the civil constitution of the clergy, Dillon had to leave Narbonne in 1790, then to emigrate to Coblenz in 1791. Soon afterwards he went to London, where he lived until his death in 1807, never accepting the
Concordat
 , which had suppressed his archiepiscopal see.

Languedoc
