Mediatized Houses
The mediatised houses (or mediatized houses, german: Standesherren) were ruling princely and comital-ranked houses that were mediatised in the Holy Roman Empire during the period 1803–1815 as part of German mediatisation, and were later recognised in 1825–1829 by the German ruling houses as possessing considerable rights and rank. With few exceptions, these houses were those whose heads held a seat in the Imperial Diet when mediatised during the establishment of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806–07, by France in 1810, or by the Congress of Vienna in 1814–15. The mediatised houses were organised into two ranks: the princely houses, entitled to the predicate ''Durchlaucht'' (Serene Highness), which previously possessed a vote on the Bench of Princes (''Furstenbank''); and the comital houses that were accorded the address of ''Erlaucht'' ( Illustrious Highness), which previously possessed a vote in one of the four Benches of Counts (''Gräfenbank'').

House Of Limburg-Stirum
The House of Limburg-Stirum (or Limburg-Styrum), which adopted its name in the 12th century from the immediate county of Limburg an der Lenne in what is now Germany, is one of the oldest families in Europe. It is the eldest and only surviving branch of the House of Berg, which was among the most powerful dynasties in the region of the lower Rhine during the Middle Ages. Some historians link them to an even older dynasty, the Ezzonen, going back to the 9th century. The Limburg-Stirum were imperial counts within the Holy Roman Empire, until they were mediatised in 1806 by the Confederation of the Rhine. Although undisputedly a mediatised comital family, having enjoyed a dynastic status for over 600 years until the collapse of the Empire, they were omitted from the ''Almanach de Gotha'' because the branches of the family possessing mediatised lands were extinct by the time (1815) that the Congress of Vienna established the German Confederation's obligation to recognise their dynas ...

Leopold Karel, Count Of Limburg Stirum
Leopold Count van Limburg Stirum (March 12, 1758 in Hoogeveen – June 25, 1840 in The Hague) was a politician who was part of the Triumvirate that took power in 1813 in order to re-establish the monarchy in the Netherlands. Career Leopold was Captain in the 2nd Regiment Orange-Nassau. During the French occupation, he was also the governor of The Hague.
