Prince of Liechtenstein from 1627 to 1684 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Eusebius (11 April 1611 – 5 April 1684)[1] was the Prince of Liechtenstein. He inherited this title in 1627 from his father Karl I. He was 16 and thus considered underage, and his uncles Prince Gundakar and Maximillian acted as regents until 1632. From 1639 to 1641 Karl was Chief Captain of High and Low Silesia.
