The maternal nephew and first cousin, once removed, of Franz I, Prince of Liechtenstein, Prince Alois renounced his rights to the succession on 26 February 1923, in favor of his son Franz Joseph II, as he was concerned about his age should he assume the role; he was 53 when he renounced his right to succession and would have been 68 when he assumed the throne.[citation needed]
He was the 1,177th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in Austria.
Alois died on 16 March 1955, at the age of 85 years old in Vaduz.[1]
On 20 April 1903, in Vienna, he married Archduchess Elisabeth Amalie of Austria (7 July 1878, in Reichenau – 13 March 1960, in Vaduz). The couple had eight children together.[citation needed]
