Cabinet of Three Counts
The Cabinet of Three Counts (German - Drei-Grafen-Kabinett) was an unofficial triumvirate which dominated the politics of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1702 to 1710.
It was made up of Alexander Hermann, Count of Wartensleben, August David zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein and Johann Kasimir Kolbe von Wartenberg. It was also known as "the three Ws" or "the three Woes" of Prussia (Wartenberg, Wittgenstein, Wartensleben).
