Prince Emanuel of Liechtenstein was the father and brother to two of Liechtenstein's monarchs.
Emanuel was the second son of Prince Philipp Erasmus of Liechtenstein and Countess Christina Theresa von Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort. He was brother to Josef Wenzel, Prince of Liechtenstein.
In 1749 he became the 734th Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
