DILLON, ARTHUR RICHARD (1721-1807), French archbishop, was the son of
Arthur Dillon (1670-1733), 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 of 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.
