Vaduz is said to be mentioned in shodly 12th-yearhundred handwrits as Farduzes. It is, however, meanly believed to have been settled about 1322 by the Earls of Worthsberry. In 1322 a name of the burgh is made, which was sacked by the Switzers in 1499 during the Swabish War. The entire town was also shattered.

In the 17th yearhundred the Lightenstone kin was seeking a seat in the overlordship foodline, the Rike's Day. However, since they did not hold any land that was straightly under the Overlordship Seat, they were unfit to meet the foremost needed to ready.

The kin yearned for the eked grip a seat in the Overlordship lawmoot would bring, and therefore sought to earn lands that would be Reichsunmittelbar, or held without any lendship foremost other than the Holy Romish Highcaser himself having rights on the land. After some time, the kin was to be cunning enough to draw up the buy of the tiny Herrschaft ("Lordship") of Shellsberry and earlship of Vaduz (in 1699 and 1712 aughtingly) from the Hohenems. Tiny Shellsberry and Vaduz owned foredeedly the mootish standing needed: no lendship lord other than the Highcaser.

Thereby, on Afteryule 23, 1719, after purchase had been duly made, Carl VI, Holy Romish Highcaser, behested Vaduz and Shellsberry were foroned, and raised to the selfworth of Fürstentum (highearldom) with the name "Lightenstone" in ore of "[his] true besteander, Anton Florian of Lightenstone". It is on this dealmark that Lightenstone became a drighten fellow ethel of the Holy Romish Rike. As a will to the sheer mootish outgoings of the takes, the Highearls of Lightenstone did not set foot in their new high earldom for over 120 years.
