Monarchy of Liechtenstein
The Sovereign Prince (''Fürst'') of Liechtenstein is the monarch and head of state of Liechtenstein.〔Principality of Liechtenstein Family - Die fürstliche Familie (in German) ()〕 The Princely Family of Liechtenstein, after which the sovereign principality was named in 1719, hails from Castle Liechtenstein in Lower Austria, which the family possessed from at least 1140 to the thirteenth century, and from 1807 onward.
==History==
Through the centuries, the dynasty acquired vast swathes of land, predominantly in Moravia, Lower Austria, Silesia, and Styria, though in all cases, these territories were held in fief under other more senior feudal lords, particularly under various lines of the Habsburg family, to whom several Liechtenstein princes served as close advisors.
Without any territory held "immediately" (i.e., directly) from the Imperial crown, the Liechtenstein family, although noble, did not qualify for a seat in the ''Diet'' of the Holy Roman Empire. By purchase in 1699 and 1712 from the Counts of Waldburg-Zeil-Hohenem of, respectively, the small ''Herrschaft'' (lordship) of Schellenberg and the countship of Vaduz, the Liechtensteins acquired ''unmittelbar'' lands within the Holy Roman Empire which made them eligible for elevation to the Imperial Diet. Thereby, on 23 January 1719 Emperor Charles VI decreed Vaduz and Schellenberg were henceforth united and raised to the status of a ''Fürstentum'' (principality) under the name "Liechtenstein" for "() true servant, Anton Florian von Liechtenstein".
Although the family continued to own larger territories in various parts of central and eastern Europe, it was in right of Liechtenstein's status as an Imperial estate that the family of wealthy noble Austrian courtiers became a dynasty of Imperial princes, continuing to dwell in the imperial capital of Vienna or on their larger estates elsewhere, not taking up permanent residence in their principality for more than 300 years, moving into their Alpine realm only in 1938, after dissolution of both the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire.
