Show full item recordAbstract
Prince Antoni Henryk Radziwiłł was a representative of a prominent
aristocratic family of the I Rzeczypospolita [the Polish–Lithuanian
Commonwealth]. Married to Louise Hohenzollern, he bound himself
with the Prussian court for good. As an opponent of the idea of French
Revolution and Napoleon Bonaparte, after the defeat and the creation of
the Grand Duchy of Posen he became its governor. He did not achieve
great political success, being attacked by the Prussian authorities for
his pro-Polish attitude, and by the Poles for his strong links with the
Prussian court. He was a talented musician and composer. He composed
music for Goethe’s “Faust”.
