The lordship, one of the most extensive in the See also:monarchy, was bought by the See also:emperor See also:Rudolph II. for his natural son, See also:Julius of See also:Austria. In 1622 the emperor See also:Ferdinand II. presented the lordship to his See also:minister, Hans See also:Ulrich von See also:Eggenberg, and in 1625 raised it to the rank of an hereditary duchy in his favour.

The See also:head of the Schwarzenberg family bears the See also:title of duke of Krumau. The castle, one of the largest and finest in Bohemia, preserves much of its ancient See also:character.
