An envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary,usually known as a minister,was a diplomatic head of mission who was ranked below ambassador. A diplomatic mission headed by an envoy was known as a legation rather than an embassy. Under the system of diplomatic ranks established by the Congress of Vienna (1815),an envoy was a diplomat of the second class who had plenipotentiary powers,i.e.,full authority to represent the government. However,envoys did not serve as the personal representative of their country's head of state.
