 <\/p>\n

After graduating from the church gymnasium in Kremsm\u00fcnster, he joined the Austrian army. He was married twice; his first wife was the Austrian noblewoman Helena Isabella von Wydenbruck on June 24, 1903, with whom he had a son, Karel Bed\u0159ich. However, shortly after his birth, the marriage broke up (allegedly due to his wife's infidelity). In 1907, an illegitimate daughter, Maria Eva Zaunerov\u00e1, was born to Count Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr, to whom he always paid alimony properly. The civil divorce with his first wife took place on December 2, 1919, and the church recognized their divorce on July 5, 1920. Shortly thereafter, on December 9, 1920, Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr remarried, to the cousin of his first wife, Gabriela Karol\u00edna von Wydenbruck. However, he paid his first wife a lifetime alimony. Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr had two sons with his second wife - Maxmili\u00e1n Josef (Max) and Ludv\u00edk Vil\u00e9m (Louis).\n\u200b<\/div>\n

Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr Des Fours Walderode had an extraordinary interest in history since his high school studies. He was particularly interested in the history of his own family, which is evidenced by, among other things, the fact that he arranged the family archive and marked almost every portrait and some other objects in the castle with labels with information about the persons or objects depicted in question. In the end, he decided to study history at Charles University in Prague, but this decision was interrupted by World War I, in which Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr took an active part (fought on the Italian front) and was wounded in the hand. After the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy, he completed his studies and on December 9, 1921, received the university degree PhDr. The topic of his dissertation was \"Contributions to the biography of Count Anton\u00edn Bed\u0159ich Mitrowski\". Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr maintained contacts with prominent historians Josef Peka\u0159 and Josef V\u00edt\u011bzslav \u0160im\u00e1k. In addition to history, however, he was also attracted by hunting and adventure (for example, in 1902 he undertook one of the first ever balloon flights in Vienna).<\/div>\n

When, after the creation of Czechoslovakia, he lost part of his property as part of the land reform, he sold his Viennese apartment and lived a private life with his family in Hrub\u00e9 Rohozec, whose interiors he had on this occasion modified to their present form. He was fluent in Czech, but spoke German with his family members. His profits flowed from forest management, especially on the Smr\u017eovka estate, and from the rental of farmyards. On April 1, 1938, he became a member of the Sudeten German Party, his wife and first-born son did so as well, the younger sons joined the Hitler Youth.<\/div>\n

In 1940, Count Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Vladim\u00edr Des Fours Walderode became seriously ill with cancer of the larynx and a year later, on March 5, 1941, he succumbed to this insidious disease. He was buried at the Ol\u0161an Cemetery in Prague.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He was called \"Niki\" in his family.<\/div>\n
