The Count of Oriola

Joaquim Lobo da Silveira, 7th Count of Oriola (1772–1846) was a Portuguese plenipotentiary at the Congress of Vienna in 1815. [1][2] While at the Congress he signed a number of treaties and documents on behalf of Prince-Regent John of Portugal including the Declaration of the Powers, on the Abolition of the Slave Trade, on 8 February 1815.[2]

Later he acquired land in Prussia and settled there becoming a naturalised citizen of Prussia. The King of Prussia granted him the title of graf (the German equivalent to his Portuguese title of conde (count)).[1]
