41 Prince Alfred Aloys of Liechtenstein 1842 1907 Princess Henriette of Liechtenstein 1843 1931 The Liechtenstein ruling house is an old Austrian family in which Liechtenstein was originally a castle near Vienna, Austria. The Lordship of Schellenburg and the County of Vaduz were bought in 1699 and 1712 respectively by Prince Johannes Adam of Liechtenstein who died in 1712. All his possessions were inherited by his cousin Anton Florian of Liechtenstein and in 1719 The Holy Emperor Charles VI decreed that the Lordship of Schellenberg and the County of Vaduz be raised to the dignity of principality within the Holy Roman Empire with the name Liechtenstein. Liechtenstein became independent in 1866.
Alfred Aloys and Henriette were first cousins, their respective fathers Prince Franz de Paula (1802-1887) and Prince Alois II (11 th Furst von und zu Liechtenstein) (1796- 1858) were brothers.
