  • Elżbieta Szydłowska (1748–1810) was the lover of King Stanisław August. Some believe that she married the King of Poland in 1783, but their marriage was morganatic, so she wasn't Queen of Poland. However, there is no known reason for the marriage to have been morganatic, as Poniatowski's Pacta conventa required him to marry a Polish noblewoman, a requirement she satisfied, and there is no evidence that the marriage ever occurred.[2] According to Wirydianna Fiszerowa, a contemporary who knew them both, the rumour only arose after the death of Poniatowski, was generally disbelieved, and was in fact circulated by Elżbieta herself.[3]

Notes

  1. ^ Bolesław I was married twice before he succeeded his father in 992: with a daughter of Rikdag, Margrave of Meissen (probably called Hunilda or Oda) and with the Hungarian princess Judith, daughter of the Géza, Grand Prince of the Hungarians. Both marriages ended in divorce and because of this, they were not counted as Duchesses of the Polans.
