 Klemens Wenzel von Metternich information - Search.com
Metternich was born in Coblenz into a Westphalian noble family; he was the son of Franz Georg Karl von Metternich in the Archbishopric of Trier.
Metternich’s attempts to form a united front with Viscount Castlereagh and Hardenberg, the Prussian chancellor, to oppose Alexander's plans for a constitutional Kingdom of Poland under his own rule, came to nothing due to Prussia’s unwillingness to stand up to Alexander.
This is most aptly demonstrated by Metternich’s subversion of the Holy Alliance from an institution advocating Christian ideals in politics (which was described in 1815 variously as a "loud-sounding nothing" by Metternich and "a piece of sublime mysticism and nonsense" by Castlereagh) to an anti-revolutionary institution used as a bastion of conservatism.

 Prince Klemens Lothar Wenzel Von Metternich
Metternich found himself in the difficult position of representing Austria in the face of the overweening threats and ambitious plans of Napoleon at the height of his power.
Metternich, treated as a prisoner of state by Napoleon, was finally released in July in exchange for members of the French embassy.
Metternich married three times: in 1795 Maria Eleonora, granddaughter of Princess Kaunitz, by whom he had seven children; in 1827 Maria Antonia, Baroness von Leykam, by whom he had a son, Richard Klemens; and in 1831 Countess Melanie Zichy, by whom he had three children.

 Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar von Metternich
Metternich, the descendant of an old Rhenish noble family, was the son of Franz Georg Karl, Graf von Metternich-Winneburg and Countess Beatrix Kagenegg.
Metternich had been appointed Austrian state chancellor on May 25, 1821, but his influence in Austria was decisively restricted by the appointment of Franz Anton, Graf von Kolowrat, as minister of state and head of the Cabinet conferences (1826).
Metternich, as his influence dwindled, yielded to an increasingly irritating vanity and to a passion for theorizing that caused his utterances to become increasingly prolix and, at times, to verge on the ridiculous.
