Ferdinand, 6.Fuerst von Lobkowicz, son of Philipp Hyazinth,
Fuerst von Lobkowicz and Countess Anna Maria von Althann
Born 27 April 1724 Prag
Died 14 January 1784 Wien
 

At twenty years of age she was married to the forty-five year-old Fuerst von Lobkowicz. She set out from Turin by chaise and coach to meet her husband on the Brenner Pass. Her marriage having been
performed by proxy, she was a married woman though she had still to meet her husband. When she arrived on top of the Brenner Pass, her husband's coach was already there and, as she alighted, she watched her husband coming toward her. In horror she saw him collapse in a faint at her feet. She died aged eighty having survived her husband by forty-four years.
