  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.
On 4 August the Emperor Francis appointed Metternich as minister of state to confer with Napoleon, and on 8 October, minister of the imperial house and of foreign affairs.

Prince Metternich himself, who had acted as foreign secretary during his sons absence, favored an understanding with Russia, and was even believed to be intriguing to retain the portfolio of foreign affairs, which would have meant the victory of the Russian party.
Metternichs object, then, in respect of the revolutionary agitations, was twofold: he wished to impress Alexander with the peril of this imperial coquetting with democratic forces; he wished to convince the sects that they could not rely on the sars support.
The resignation of Prince Metternich, handed in on the 13th of March 1848, was accepted by the emperor on the 18th, and the prince and his family at once left for England.

Fürst Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar von Metternich (May 15, 1773 - June 11, 1858) (sometimes rendered in English as Prince Clemens Metternich) was an Austrian politician and statesman and perhaps the most important diplomat of his era.
Metternich's attempts to form a united front with 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.
Metternich and his third wife had to flee the country, although they returned three years later, and Metternich, although never resuming office, became a close personal advisor to Emperor Franz Joseph.

In imperial China, the title of prince developed from being the highest title of nobility (synonymous with duke) in the Zhou Dynasty, to five grades of princes (not counting the sons and grandsons of the emperor) by the time of the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Some slightly fantastic elements, like "marsh monsters" (a dinosaur-like creature) and witches, are present in the first volumes but are later downplayed (as are Merlin's and Morgan le Fay's magicks), so that by the fifth album, the story is in most aspects a realistic one not only in drawing style but also in content.
