Maximilian Andreas of Dietrichstein
Count Maximilian Andreas of Dietrichstein (14 April 1638 – 4 December 1692), was a German nobleman, member of the House of Dietrichstein.
Early life[edit]
He was the eleventh child and fourth (but third surviving) son of Maximilian, 2nd Prince of Dietrichstein zu Nikolsburg, and his first wife Princess Anna Maria, a daughter of Karl I, Prince of Liechtenstein and Duke of Troppau and Jägerndorf.[1][2][3]
Life[edit]
The institution of primogeniture in the House of Dietrichstein forbade Maximilian Andreas to inherit a substantial part of the family heritage. On 18 January 1663, he married with Maria Justina of Schwarzenberg (20 February 1647 – 21 April 1696), a daughter of Edmund III of Schwarzenberg, Seigneur de Bierset, d'Hierges, de Champlon and his wife, Countess Marie d'Arschot de Riviere.[4][5] They had twelve children, of whom five survived to adulthood:

- A daughter (born and died ca. July 1671).
