Wiara a sympatie polityczne Albrychta Stanisława Radziwiłła
Faith and Political Sympathies of Abrycht (Albert) Stanisław Radziwiłł In his distinctly private opinions, Albrycht Stanisław Radziwiłł evaluated people according to their religious preferences. He took a similar approach when looking at distant international policy. This attitude changed when his close relatives or political issues of interest were at hand. In such a situation, pride for relatives’ achievements and successes took precedence regardless of religious affiliation. The same criteria were applied to foreign policy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, always prioritizing the state and its security. Religious considerations vanished. He also applied this approach to personal matters, supporting the advance of Protestants when the interests of the state were at stake. However, at the same time he did not ignore the Catholic Church and its commandments.
