| Additional information |
Georg III, Ludwig IV, and Christian ruled Liegnitz-Brieg jointly following the death of their father Georg Rudolf in 1653 — though this issue precedes that date, placing it during a period of complex co-regency arrangements that were themselves a response to Habsburgs pressure on Silesian Protestant principalities to consolidate or forfeit autonomy. The three-ruler portrait coinage was a deliberate assertion of dynastic continuity under that pressure.
The line died with Christian in 1672, at which point the Habsburgs absorbed Liegnitz-Brieg directly, extinguishing one of the last semi-independent Protestant duchies in Silesia.
