Career

Lubomirski had inherited an extensive estate from his father and uncle , but some of it was squandered. He was one of the infamous and legendary adventurers of his time. In Polish historiography he is judged very negatively and dubbed a bon vivant, spendthrift, libertine, bankrupt, robber and bandit.

He took part in the Bar Confederation , became in 1752 the lieutenant colonel , 1755 to colonel , and in 1756 to Major General of Kronarmee . Now he entered Prussian service and in September 1758 was commissioned to set up a free hussar regiment at his own expense. In return, he received the rank of major general. Already in November 1758 the unfinished formation was disbanded because Lubomirski could not raise enough money.

Lubomirski was a knight of the Order of Hubert .

After he also Russia had been tendered and Poland marodierte , he was arrested in 1759, removed from office and of all military ranks demoted . Lubomirski was sentenced to life imprisonment, but that sentence was reduced to 15 years in a fortress, which he was to serve in the Buda . In 1773, however, he was already lieutenant general in the Crown Army. Nevertheless, he remained part of Russia and worked closely with the Russian ambassador in Warsaw Otto Magnus von Stackelberg . In 1773 Lubomirski took part in the Sejm session to legitimize the First Partition of Poland . From the confiscated assets of the Jesuit order he got 500,000 in the wake of a premium in the amount of PLN .

family

In 1757 Lubomirski had an affair with his mother's 17-year-old maid of honor, Anna Wyleżyńska († 1787). He kidnaps her, but there was no formal marriage. She died a Benedictine . To break free from his imprisonment in Buda prematurely, he married in 1765 in Sibiu with Anna Maria de Haddik Futak, († 1803), daughter of the former commander of the fortress, later to become Field Marshal Andreas Haddik . The marriage was divorced in 1776. After the divorce, she was a close confidante of the Polish King Stanislaus August Poniatowski , with whom she had a naturally disabled son. As a Freemason , she was also a special confidante of the royal secretary Pierre-Maurice Glayre . Lubomirski went to another marriage with Honorata Stempowska, who was married to Teofil Załuski either before or after the divorce. After all, he last married Tekla Katarzyna Łabęcka († 1831) around 1790.

From his marriage with he had a daughter Łucja Franciszka (1770-1811) who married Jerzy Janusz Tyszkiewicz (1768-1831) in Warsaw in 1790 .
