Studien zur Familiengeschichte, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint)

This book traces the familial history of the Kuefstein noble family from their early origins to the 18th and 19th centuries, firmly situating their narrative amidst the backdrop of their surrounding cultural and political landscape. The author draws from four previously published volumes in his series to craft an engaging and detailed portrait of this notable Austrian dynasty. The author delves deeply into the lives of prominent Kuefstein family members such as Hans Georg IV, tracing his devout and industrious nature that led to the establishment of a perpetual trust benefiting his descendants, and Maria Francisca, whose keen business sense and devotion to her children allowed the family's wealth and influence to flourish. Through its detailed analysis of family documents and letters, this book sheds light on the inner workings of the Kuefstein family, revealing their triumphs and tribulations, their close relationships, and their broader impact on the development of Austria. The author's insights into the family's role in politics, economics, and the arts enrich our understanding of their contributions to Austrian society. The significance of this work lies in its ability to illuminate the intricate tapestry of a prominent aristocratic family's life over several centuries, providing a valuable resource for historians and genealogists, and an intriguing read for anyone interested in the complexities of family, power, and the human condition.Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
