Life
editPrince Michael Esterházy was the twelfth son of Paul I, Prince Esterházy and Countess Orsolya Esterházy of Galanthá.
Michael was politically insignificant. He protected the family's patronage and had a hunting lodge built in Fertőd, which was expanded over 50 years later under Prince Nicholas I of Esterházy to become Esterházy Castle (Fertőd), one of the most representative castle complexes in Hungary.
On May 24, 1694, he married Biandrata Anna Margherita (1673-1755) in Vienna.
Prince Michael died in Vienna in 1721. He is buried in the family crypt in the Franciscan monastery in Eisenstadt. He died without a male heir, so his half-brother Joseph became the next head of the family.
In Vienna , when he was a student, he published his dissertation: Regula regum amor et timor sive Ladislaus rex Hungariae... Dicata 27. Jun. 1688. Deferente Gabr. Hevenesi Soc. I. Viennae.
