| Description | The author inquires into the reasons for which the Czech historiography has traditionally ignored the Liechtenstein princely family. He points out the reserve of the Czech historians in the nineteenth and twentieth century towards foreign nobility (such as the Liechtensteins till at least the thirteenth century) and their reticence to study a family which played an undeniable role in the continuity of the German settlement in southern Moravia from the Middle Ages until the twentieth century. As the main culprit the author however identifies the negative image of prince Charles I of Liechtenstein, whose activities after the battle of White Mountain apparently impacted all of the family history (at least at the Early Modern Period). |
