The article introduces the circumstances surrounding the beginnings and ends of marriages of Elżbieta Branicka coat of arms Korczak (1732/33–1800) with twomembers of the Sapieha family – Jan Józef Kalasanty, the voivode of Smolensk, and Jan, the voivode of Mścisław. The work includes a discussion and elaboration of scarce pieces of information concerning the time of her birth and the period preceding her first marriage. It also presents an analysis of the original assignment of Teatrum myśli… (1780) by Wenanty Tyszkowski, which focuses on a lady‘s glorious portrait in her maiden age. The main part of the article is opened by the presentation of the state of knowledge about the castellan’s daughter marriages. It is followed by a critical reading of unknown or superficially exploited sources revealing the backstage of these relationships: press reports on wedding ceremonies and the death of her second husband, the Latin decree of the church court in the case of annulment of the first marriage, a draft of an insurance script, in which the bride’s parents determined the amount and conditions for paying her dowry, fragments of Marcin Matuszewicz’s memories and letters from spouses addressed to Jan Klemens Branicki, Grand Crown Hetman. The context for new findings are conclusions and suggestions of researchers of the 18th century magnates of Poland and Lithuania.

The edition, which opens with a short introduction, comprises four letters from the Bernardine monk associated with Lviv (died 1783), preserved in the Radziwiłł archive. The correspondence was directed at Michał Kazimierz ‘Rybeńko’ Radziwiłł and his son, Karol Stanisław ‘Panie Kochanku’. The letters confirm a close relationship between the monk and the representatives of the powerful Lithuanian family. Upon reading the correspondence, one may conclude that the relations between Tyszkowski and the Radziwiłłs involved not only his attempts to secure support for the Order, but also mediating issues affecting the family or people associated with it. These issues included, inter alia, the scandal which reverberated throughout the country in 1764, after the wedding of Teofila Konstancja Radziwiłłówna (daughter of Rybeńko and the playwright, Franciszka Urszula) with Ignacy Feliks Morawski, an officer of the court militia, which was seen as a mésalliance.
