<div id="ygrps-yiv-1463869800">Question for the dutch out there:<br/>
In a treaty i came across the letters LLHHPP being used to signify the Dutch <br/>
government in the 1700s, ie the States General.<br/>
I have since found our it means Leurs Hauts Puissants, just as SSMM stood <br/>
for Ses Majesties in the text of the treaty.<br/>
Can anyone tell me if there is an official or correct way to translate this <br/>
into English?<br/>
Their High Powers?<br/>
Their High Powerfullnesses?<br/>
Their Austin Powers? (kidding...)<br/>
<br/>
