description: "He served Louis XVI, the Revolution, Napoleon, the restored Bourbons, and two more kings after that — outlasting every regime by switching sides at the perfect moment. The name Talleyrand became shorthand for diplomatic cunning so fluid it looked like betrayal."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1754, he studied theology and rose to Agent-General of the Clergy in 1780, then Bishop of Autun in 1789 just as the Revolution began. He became Napoleon's chief diplomat, brokering the 1801 Treaty of Lunéville with Austria and the 1802 Treaty of Amiens with Britain, working mostly for peace to lock in French gains. By 1805 he opposed Napoleon's fresh wars against Austria, Prussia, and Russia; he resigned as foreign minister in 1807 but kept the emperor's trust while secretly conspiring with Tsar Alexander I and Austrian minister Klemens von Metternich to undermine him. When Napoleon fell in 1814, Talleyrand backed the Bourbon Restoration and played a major role at the Congress of Vienna, negotiating a favorable settlement for France. He died in 1838, having served six regimes — trusted by none, indispensable to all.
