It's me beating my Congress of Vienna drum again.

I asked about in one of my previous threads but I never got an answer for it, so here goes. What if at Vienna, Belgium is allowed the Habsburg archduke that they so desperately sought (and here it would probably be the duke of Teschen, since he had served as governor for a short time in the 1790s and been brought up in Austrian Netherlands by the Regent Maria Christine).He renounces all rights to the Imperial throne and to flesh out the provinces, (and to punish France, the former duchy of Lorraine (either whole or piecemeal) is returned to Austria, alongside Austria's former holdings in south-western Germany and erected into the Grand Duchy of Belgium (open to name suggestions).

Austria isn't actually ruling Belgium (maybe Karl renounces his rights to the purple or so), but it's not necessarily asecond-rate power sitting on France's borders. Karl was one of the only generals to beat Napoleon, back when Madame Royal arrived in Vienna after her imprisonment, Franz II had considered just such a scheme, by marrying Karl to Marie Thérèse, and claiming heredity of the duchy of Lorraine.Not only this, but Karl actually did rather well for himself when they polled to see who would be the new king of the Belgians (IIRC).

Obviously the Netherlands will have to be recompensated elsewhere, and I was thinking, that since Prussia apparently showed no interest in gathering territories in western Germany,the Napoleonic grand duchy of Berg or of the pre-Revolutionary Rhineland Episcopal Electorates (Trier, Cologne and Mainz), might do nicely. That just leaves Prussia without getting what she wants - which is all of Saxony. Austria-France-Poland won't allow that, and Russia would, so a means would have to be found for why Prussia isn't getting what she wants (maybe she makes a poor showing at Leipzig or is without Russian support). Is this feasible?
