 History of Liechtenstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Over the centuries, it acquired vast swathes of land, mostly in Moravia, Lower Austria and Styria, but all these expansive and rich territories were held in fief under other more senior feudal lords, particularly under various lines of the Habsburg family, to which many Liechtensteins were close advisors.
Thus, and without any territory held directly under the Imperial throne, the Liechtenstein dynasty was unable to meet a primary requirement to qualify for a seat in the Imperial diet, the Reichstag, although they were elevated to princely rank in late 17th century.
On January 23, 1719, emperor Karl VI decreed that the counties of Vaduz and Schellenberg be promoted to a principality with the name Liechtenstein for his servant Anton Florian of Liechtenstein whereby they became Heiliger Römischer Reichsfürst.

 Joris Vezeleer - Provenance
1684].[3] Prince Johann Adam Andreas of Liechtenstein [1657-1712], "Fideikomissgalerie," Vienna, by 1712, the year of his death; his nephew, Prince Emanuel of Liechtenstein [d.
[5] When Prince Josef Johann died, his son, Prince Johann Nepomuk, was under age and his uncle Prince Josef Wenzel was appointed guardian.
In 1733 Prince Josef Wenzel applied seals bearing the arms of Liechtenstein and the date 1733 to all paintings that were part of the "Fideikomissgalerie." In effect this commemorates the heritage of Prince Johann Adam and separated the works from Prince Josef Wenzel's own collection.
