Stanisław Radziwiłł

Stanisław "the Pious" Radziwiłł (May 12, 1559- March 19, 1599) was a sixth generation Radziwill family noble (szlachcic) of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.^[1] He was a general starost (elder) of Duchy of Samogitia (Samaiten, from 1595 till his death), a first ordynat of Olyka, and Great Lithuanian Marshal (from 1592 till his death).

Son of Mikołaj "the Black" Radziwiłł and Elżbieta Szydłowiecka. Raised as a Calvinist, he converted to Roman Catholicism and was known as a very pious person, which gained him the nickname Pobożny (Pious). He was also known for his scholarly interests - he collected books and could read in many languages. He avoided politics, but fought in the wars with Muscovy under Polish king Stefan Batory.
