  Short history of the Radziwill Family by Peter Paul Bajer
Mikolaj also formed a political alliance with his cousin Mikolaj the Red against other magnates in the rivalry for the dominant status in the Great Duchy, which was manifested in his calls for the Lithuanian independence.
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.
This type of activity is represented, for example, by Mikolaj Konstanty (*1958), head of the Foundation of Saint John of Jerusalem, known as Pomoc Maltanska, which cares for the sick and the poor, and works under the auspices of the Association of Polish Knights of Saint John.

 Egyptology in Poland
In 1583 magnate Mikolaj Krzysztof Radziwill (Radvila) nicknamed as "Orphan" made a journey to Egypt, using the opportunity of a pilgrimage to Holy Land; he visited the Delta, reaching the Pyramids in Gizeh and the necropolis of Memphis.
Many his notes within the context of that period's knowledge on ancient Egypt are astonishing because of observing precision, and colourful descriptions allow for faultless recognition of not only particular monuments, but also types of minor relics, such as shabti figurines or canopic jars.
However, some Egyptian relics must have reached Poland, as before the 17th century we encounter records of keeping them (chiefly mummies and coffins) in "collections of peculiarities" and other assemblages amongst relics of Greece and Italy.
