A member of the Council of the Moravian Margrave, Jobst of Luxembourg, who, as one of only a few Moravian Lords, did not fight against the King alongside Jobst. The Liechtensteins were a wealthy family, owning estates in the Styrian and Lower Austria regions from the 13th century onwards, their main seat being Mikulov (Nikolsburg). The Liechtenstein Princes were in close alliance with the Habsburgs and Luxembourgs. In the war against Sigismund, John of Liechtenstein supported Wenceslas, helping to rescue him from captivity, but by so doing fell out of favour with the Austrian Dukes, who confiscated his estates around the Danube River and took him prisoner. After the death of Wenceslas, the Liechtensteins aligned with Sigismund.
