Humprecht the Elder Czernin von Chudenitz (* 1570 , † 1632 ) was sub-chamberlain of the Kingdom of Bohemia . He was significantly involved in the revision of the land table .

In 1623 he was burgrave of Königgrätz in 1624, von Karlstein , captain of Prague Castle in 1625 and was appointed by Emperor Ferdinand II to the commission for the codification of the Renewed State Order .

In 1629 he was raised to the rank of baron .

He had given his vote to the Count Palatine and allowed himself to be abused as director. But since he only worked in the country table matters and, moreover, had already resigned in 1616, he was not arrested on February 20, 1620, although he had perjured , but only placed under guarded house arrest. He was also not brought before the confiscation commission by the neck court commission, and - since he could prove his innocence - released from the indictment and released together with his son Johannes. However, he had to pay 1,500 guilders to the alumat of St. Jacob's monastery in Prague for the “pardon” he had given .

In 1621 he converted to the Catholic faith and died in 1632 as an imperial councilor, chamberlain, royal governor and regional judge.
