    The Liechtenstein dynasty, from which the Principality takes its name
   (rather than vice-versa), comes from Castle Liechtenstein in faraway

   13th century, and from 1807 onwards.
    The modern territory of Liechtenstein formed at one time (an albeit
   diminutive) part of the ancient Roman province of Raetia. For
   centuries this territory, geographically removed from European
   strategic interests, had little impact on the tide of European
   history.
