Michael I, 2nd Prince Esterházy of Galántha (Hungarian: Mihály, Esterházy galánthai herceg) (4 May 1671 – 24 March 1721) was the second Prince Esterházy of Galántha. He succeeded his father, Paul I and was prince from 1713 to 1721. He was the imperial royal chamberlain and adviser for the Habsburg family.[1][2][3][better source needed]
Prince Michael Esterházy was the twelfth son of Paul I, Prince Esterházy and Countess Orsolya Esterházy of Galanthá.
In 1688 in Vienna, when he was a student, he published his dissertation: Regula regum amor et timor sive Ladislaus rex Hungariae.[4]
Career
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.
