Johann II succeeds to the Liechtenstein throne

Johann II appointed his mother as regent from 1859 to 1860 to complete his education before assuming full sovereign responsibilities.

Although Johann II was an adult, his mother, Countess Franziska Kinsky, acted as regent from 10 February 1859 to November 1860. This was not due to minority but to allow Johann to finish his education before beginning his rule.
