Duke of Troppau and Jagerndorf
Johann Nepomuk Karl
(Johann Nepomuk Karl Borromaus Josef Franz de Paula; 6 July 1724 ? 22 December 1748) was the
Prince of Liechtenstein
between 1732 and 1748.

Early life

He was the son of
Joseph Johann Adam, Prince of Liechtenstein
and his second wife, Countess Maria Anna Katharina of
Oettingen-Spielberg
(1693-1729).
Life

When his father died, Johann Nepomuk Karl was only eight and his uncle
Josef Wenzel
ruled as regent and took care of his nephew's education, preparing him for his future role. When Johann Nepomuk Karl took over the rule of his domains alone in 1745, it seemed that his uncle had taught him nothing, because the prince soon neglected the government and otherwise had seen little economic success.
Because of the evident inability of the prince, a royal
Hungarian
and Bohemian royal chamberlain was appointed to rule. The prince died shortly afterwards in 1748 at
Wischau
aged 24 years, being the youngest Prince of Liechtenstein to die.
Marriage and issue

In Vienna on 19 March 1744 Johann Nepomuk Karl married his cousin Maria Josepha, Countess of
Harrach-Rohrau
(20 November 1727 ? 15 February 1788), daughter of
Count Friedrich August von Harrach-Rohrau
and his wife, Princess Maria Eleonora of
Liechtenstein
(1793-1757). They had three children:
- Princess Maria Anna (October 1745 ? 27 April 1752).
- Prince Joseph Johannes Nepomuk Xaver Gotthard Adam Franz de Paula Frederick (5 May 1747 ? 20 May 1747).
