 | | MikoÅaj RadziwiÅÅ, nicknamed The Red (Polish Rudy, Lithuanian: Radvila Rudasis) also known as MikoÅaj RadziwiÅÅ The Sixth (1512-1584) was a Polish-Lithuanian noble (szlachcic), Palatine of Wilno, Grand Chancellor and Grand Lithuanian Hetman (from 1576) in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. |
 | | His political career was marked by his alliance with his cousin Mikolaj \'Black\' RadziwiÅÅ, with whom he opposed the other notable Lithuanian families in the rivalry for the dominant status in the Great Duchy. |
 | | This alliance marked the formation of a dynastic-like cooperation between RadziwiÅÅs and showed how family interests could affect magnates relations with Rzeczpospolita (the Commonwealth). |
