Life
Leopold Joseph Lamberg offered in 1694 unsuccessfully for the office of Obersthofmarschalls at the court of Emperor Leopold I. 50,000 florins . In 1699 he paid 100,000 gulden à fonds into the imperial treasury for the most distinguished post of imperial diplomacy, that of ambassador to the Holy See . In addition, in the years in which he was in office, he shot up almost half a million guilders. The ambassador's salary was 18,000 guilders. He organized a splendid entry into Rome, had expensive court rulings, and a penchant for works of art, which nearly exhausted his considerable fortune. When he was recalled in 1705, he believed he had acquired the prospect of a leading office. Emperor Joseph I co-opted him as a leading member of his Privy Council , where Johann Philipp von Lamberg (* 1652; † 1712) and Franz Joseph I von Lamberg (* 1637; † 1712) sat. He did not become a minister.
