A French Cardinal is responsible for inventing something we all see on tables every day .What is it? Who was he?

One day Cardinal Richelieu became disgusted with the barbaric practice (common until the seventeenth century) of using daggers as toothpicks and ordered that only knives with rounded ends be allowed at the dinner table. He is thus credited with inventing the dinner knife.
