Biography[edit]

Boskovic coat of arms

Baroness Anna Maria Šemberová of Boskovice and Černá Hora and Aussee was born in 1575 in Vienna to Baron Jan Šembera z Boskovic a Černohorský and Baroness Anna Krajířové z Krajku, who were both members of the Moravian nobility.[1][2]

In 1590 she married Baron Karl von Liechtenstein, a Moravian nobleman and the son of Hartmann II, Baron of Liechtenstein and Countess Anna Maria of Ortenburg.[3] In 1608 her husband was created the first Prince of Liechtenstein by Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor, thus making her the first Princess of Liechtenstein.[3][4] In 1613 her husband acquired the Duchy of Troppau and in 1622 he acquired the Duchy of Jägerndorf, thus making her the Duchess of Troppau and the Duchess of Jägerndorf.[5]

Anna Maria and Karl I had five children:[6]

Boskovic Castle, which was inherited by Anna Maria and her sister, Catherine, upon their father's death.

Her sister Catherine married her husband's brother, Baron Maximilian of Liechtenstein. Both she and her sister inherited their father's lands, including Boskovic Castle, upon his death in 1597 due to the fact that he had no male heirs.[1]

Anna Maria died on 6 June 1625 and was buried in the Liechtenstein family crypt at the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Vranov.
