Jakob Anton of Dietrichstein
Jakob Anton of Dietrichstein (24 July 1678 – 15 May 1721) was a German nobleman, member of the House of Dietrichstein.
Early life[edit]
He was eighteenth child and ninth (but fourth surviving) son of Ferdinand Joseph, 3rd Prince of Dietrichstein, and his wife, Princess Marie Elisabeth of Eggenberg, a daughter of Johann Anton I, Prince of Eggenberg, Duke of Krumau and Princely Count (gefürsteter Graf) of Gradisca.
Life[edit]
As the youngest surviving son of his family, Jakob Anton had no chances to inherit a substantial part of the Dietrichstein heritage, due to the institution of the primogeniture.
