Life

When his father died, Johann Nepomuk Karl was only eight and his uncle Josef Wenzel ruled as regent and took care of his nephew's education, preparing him for his future role. When Johann Nepomuk Karl took over the rule of his domains alone in 1745, it seemed that his uncle had taught him nothing, because the prince soon neglected the government and otherwise had seen little economic success.

Because of the evident inability of the prince, a royal Hungarian and Bohemian royal chamberlain was appointed to rule. The prince died shortly afterwards in 1748 at Wischau aged 24 years, being the youngest Prince of Liechtenstein to die.

Marriage and issue

In Vienna on 19 March 1744 he had married his cousin Maria Josepha, Countess of Harrach-Rohrau (20 November 1727 – 15 February 1788), daughter of Count Friedrich August von Harrach-Rohrau. They had three children:

  • Maria Anna (October 1745 – 27 April 1752).
  • Prince Joseph Johannes Nepomuk Xaver Gotthard Adam Franz de Paula Frederick (5 May 1747 – 20 May 1747).
  • Maria Antonia Josepha Theresia Walburga (posthumously 13 June 1749 – 28 May 1813), married on 17 January 1768 to Prince Wenzel Paar.

Ancestry
gollark: Yes, obviously.
gollark: I recently launched the SPUDNETv4 protocol for it but the only person using it is heavpoot for the heavdrone web UI.
gollark: Most of my secured stuff runs over SPUDNET, which is probably not entirely secure itself but oh well.
gollark: So technically with channel hopping you could avoid it.
gollark: I have a thing which pulls data from the sniffers and uses it to configure a smaller set of models, but it only listens to the last 128 used channels.
