Some time around 1520, Barbara was born to the powerful politician Jerzy Radziwill and his wife, also named Barbara, in the Duchy of Lithuania. As the baby of a wealthy family, little Barbara was an incredibly pampered girl, and wasn’t used to getting told “No.” Like, ever. As we’ll see, Barbara soon took full advantage of her lush upbringing. Wiki...
People quickly started noticing Barbara, and not just because she had fancy family ties. See, when most girls were going through their awkward pubescent years, Barbara was in the full bloom of her beauty, with a narrow, feminine nose, fair skin, and large dark eyes. Except, well, those eyes soon attracted the wrong kind of attention. An Epitaph for...
In 1536, when Barbara was still in her teenage years, a strapping, well-endowed—I’m talking about his income, people—young man named Stanislovas Goštautas sought her hand in marriage. Now, you’d think Barbara’s parents would be over the moon about their daughter's good match. But there was more to this proposal than met the eye. Shutterstock
Before asking Barbara to marry him, Stanislovas was actually engaged…to Barbara's older sister Anna. Apparently, they either didn’t get along, or the groom-to-be was too obsessed with Barbara to ignore his feelings. Either way, this fiancé swap was a big deal, especially since it was a huge insult to marry off a younger sister before the older one ...
Barbara might have been a hot commodity in 16th-century Poland, but she was a little toohot. Get this: When Stanislovas asked for her hand in marriage, Barbara was already in wedding negotiations with yet another suitor, and only took up Stanislovas when those plans fell through. Nope, this doesn’t sound like a match made in heaven to me, either. A...
The teen bride’s wedding to Stanislovas Goštautas was one of the high society events of the year. Taking place in the groom’s home on May 18, 1537, Barbara’s extensive dowry included 24 “fine” horses as well as trunks full of satin and damask gowns. It was what many Medieval girls grew up dreaming about, but for Barbara, the good times wouldn’t las...
After four years of marriage, Stanislovas and Barbara were still childless, which was pretty unusual considering how intensely society expected Barbara to push out heirs. Historians now have some idea why this was (more on that later), but when December 18, 1542 came along, it was probably a good thing that Barbara didn’t have any children running ...
That December, Barbara had fully settled into her life as an attentive wife—then tragedy swooped in. After a short but ravaging illness, her husband Stanislovas perished. Oh, but that wasn’t all: Since she was now a childless widow, all of Barbara’s wealth went to the King of Poland, Sigismund the Old. It sounds like rock bottom for our girl Barbar...
In October 1543, the King sent his son Prince Sigismund to Barbara’s home so he could claim the estate and rip it out of Barbara's hands. Instead, it was a date with destiny.The young heir and the beautiful widow fell passionately in love with each other on this very trip, beginning a tryst that would lead to infamy and legend. There was just one p...
When Prince Sigismund ignited his flame for Barbara, he was already a verymarried man. His wife, Elizabeth of Austria, was actually a powerhouse of her own in the European world, and she wasn’t about to give her husband away to some upstart mistress. Not that Barbara minded. She just bided her time and waited for the other shoe to drop. Shutterstoc...
