Course objectives
The aim of the seminar is to give students an insight into the history of the House of Liechtenstein with the help of auxiliary historical sciences (AHS). The seminar will focus on selected auxiliary historical sciences and their practical application to specific examples in the history of the House of Liechtenstein. In addition to materials of a diplomatic nature (charters, urbariums, vital records), attention will be paid to sphragistics, heraldry, phaleristics, numismatics, genealogy, epigraphy, (inscriptional) palaeography and chronology. The course might also include a one-day excursion (the castles in Lednice and Valtice or the church and crypt in Vranov u Brna).

- be well informed about the basic time points in the history of the House of Liechtenstein
