What does this mean? What were plenipotentiaries? john k (talk) 02:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, looking at the French list, I see Metternich's father was the last one, and my vague memory from Metternich's memoirs is that his father was kind of effectively the prime minister of the Austrian Netherlands. If some one has a good sense of this, though, it would be really useful to explain it in the article. john k (talk) 19:54, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
