Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to describe the role of Princess Sophia of Slutsk Radziwiłł (1585-1612) in literature. The Princess of Slutsk, along with her immense fortune, was the bone of contention between two powerful Lithuanian families – the Radziwiłł of Birże and the Chodkiewicz family. The significance of the events is visible in the reports of eyewitnesses and in the narratives of those writers who decided to immortalize Sophia and Janusz Radziwiłł in their own versions of that unusual story in 1600. Princess Sophia as portrayed in the hagiography and Sophia depicted by Naborowski, Kraszewski, Osipowska, Syrokomla, and Korwin-Szymanowski are two completely different women.
