Nicholas Radziwill the Black
Mikolaj Radziwill "Czarny" (February 4, 1515-May 28, 1565) was a close friend and aide to King Zygmunt II August (1520-1572) and a major political leader in the late 16th century Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He laid the foundations for the immense wealth of the Radziwill family, which until World War II was one of the richest aristocratic families in Europe. His support of the Reformation movement, first of Calvinism, and in his later years of antitrinitarian theologians, helped establish a strong Reformed Church that survives until today.
