The RadziwiΕΕ family was the wealthiest noble house in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and, in 1547, became the first in the state to receive a princely title from the Holy Roman Empire. Their estates spanned presentβday Belarus, including towns, villages and the former principalities of Slutsk and Kopyl. From the 16th to the 18th centuries they maintained private armies and built fortresses such as Slutsk, Nesvizh, Birzai, KΔdainiai, Mir and Lyubch. From the 18th century onward the RadziwiΕΕs were noted patrons of the arts, collectors of portrait galleries and founders of manufactories, playing a decisive role in the political life of the PolishβLithuanian Commonwealth.
