Notizen bei Karel Vorst van en tot Liechtenstein

Karl was born on 30 July 1569, the son of Hartmann II, Herr von und zu Liechtenstein zu Feldsberg, Eisgrub und Steyregg, and Gräfin Anna Maria von Ortenburg. He was brought up in the Protestant religion but converted to Catholicism due to the influence of Cardinal Dietrichstein. As a result he became a very active member of the Catholic party in Moravia, that earned him the thanks of Pope Clement VIII. In 1592 or 1593 he married Freiin Anna Marie von Boskowica und Schwarzenberg, only child of Johann gen. Wssembera, Freiherr von Boskowicz und Schwarzenberg, and Freiin Anna Kragjrz z Kraigk. They had four children of whom Karl Eusebius, Anna Marie and Franziska would have progeny. Partly due to his wife, a very rich heiress, he was one of the richest men in central Europe. He was a great collector of art which he displayed in his palace in Prague.

In the Habsburg court Karl was appointed as lord chamberlain. This service also brought him other titles: Palatine on 30 March 1607, Prince of Liechtenstein on 20 December 1608, Duke of Troppau on 4 January 1614, and Duke of Jägerndorf on 15 March 1622. On 7 April 1620 Emperor Ferdinand II allowed him to quarter his coat-of-arms with those of the extinct family of Kuenring.

During the reign of Emperor Matthias, Karl took a strong stand against the Protestants. He was considerably involved in subduing them and restoring royal authority, supervising arrests, imprisonment and numerous executions of the main rebels in the Thirty Years War until Emperor Ferdinand II signed a 'General Amnesty' on 4 May 1622, promising life and liberty to all those who had been condemned, which Karl was again to supervise. After the cessation of hostilities, there was considerable profiteering and even forging among the numerous fortune hunters. Karl I and his friend Michna, together with a Jew Bassevi and a foreign merchant, de Wite, formed a syndicate of 'coiners' or official currency-issuers, obtaining from Emperor Ferdinand II, for the payment to him of 'several million florins', the privilege of redeeming and re-organising the old currencies: for example, thirty two new florins could be purchased for seventy-nine of the former silver florins.

When he died on 12 February 1627 he was a knight of the Golden Fleece and possessed a domain covering 5,800 square kilometres, 24 towns, 35 bourgs (market-towns), 756 villages and 46 castles.
