The founder of the branch, Philippe de Noailles (1715–1794), comte de Noailles, was a younger brother of Louis, 4th duc de Noailles. He was named principe de Poix (prince of Poix) in 1729 by King Philip V of Spain. That same year his aunt-in-law Marguerite-Thérèse Rouillé, duchesse de Richelieu, had died, leaving to Philippe the lands of the principality of Poix.

In 1747 Philippe was made duque de Mouchy by King Ferdinand VI of Spain.
