Sometimes third-country ambassadors were given powers to negotiate between warring parties. Here Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI grants to the Marquis of Villeneuve, French ambassador to Constantinople, the right to represent him in talks to end war with the Ottoman Empire. The following year, 1739, the Treaty of Belgrade was signed. The document contains a glaring error: the name of the Sultan should be Mahmud I not Ahmed III!
