  Short history of the Radziwill Family by Peter Paul Bajer
Just like other Radziwills, he was famous for the support given to his relatives: he did not fail to watch over the interests of his Calvinist cousins, despite being renown for his opposition to the heretics.
Those Radziwills who decided to stay in Poland despite prosecution and hardship faced by all 'enemies of the working class', were able to adapt to the new political situation with perseverance and resourcefulness.
Radziwill's exclusivity is also sustained by the upholding of a patriotic/religious ideology associated with the Polish aristocratic circles and based on the principle of noblesse oblige-binding them personally to an intensive service towards the common good.

In practice Lithuania retained its own government and laws until the end of the joint state in 1795 : the Act of Union was never rigorously enforced.

 The Prince & the Portrait -- Monday, Nov. 11, 1946 -- Page 1 -- TIME
In weddings, duels and state councils, Radziwills and Potockis, two of Poland's oldest, richest families, have faced each other for centuries.
Krystyna Radziwill had a play written in honor of her marriage, and Joseph Potocki's funeral was attended by ten bishops and 1,275 priests; 20 pieces of cannon used up 65,000 pounds of gunpowder in a wake that lasted six days.
A Potocki and a Radziwill were face to face again when they came to the portrait of wrinkled, unlovely Isabella Potocka.
