Everything about Anton Florian Of Liechtenstein totally explained
Anton Florian, Prince of Liechtenstein (
28 May 1656 -
11 October 1721 Vienna) was
Prince of Liechtenstein between
1719 and 1721.
During the
War of the Spanish Succession, he went to
Spain, where he was the Chief Intendant and Prime Minister of the Archduke Karl, who became
Emperor Charles VI after the sudden death of his brother in
1711. Florian returned to
Vienna for Charles's coronation. He was the Imperial Chief Intendant and Chairman of the Secret Council until he died in 1721.
In 1719, Charles VI created the new principality of
Liechtenstein from the domains of
Schellenberg and
Vaduz, which were both held by the Liechtenstein family. This was done so that Anton Florian could be admitted to the Reichstag, which required that all members had land that was subordinate only to the Emperor himself (as opposed to land held in fief by higher nobles). Thus, Anton Florian became the first Prince of Liechtenstein. It and
Luxembourg are the only states of the
Holy Roman Empire that still exist.
Marriage and Issue
Anton married Eleonore Barbara of
Thun-Hohenstein (
4 May 1661 -
10 February 1723) on
October 15,
1679. They had 11 children, most of whom died in early childhood.
