- ElÃ
¼bieta SzydÃ
Âowska (1748âÂÂ1810) was the lover of King StanisÃ
Âaw August. Some believe that she married the King of Poland in 1783, but their marriage was morganatic, so she wasn't Queen of Poland. However, there is no known reason for the marriage to have been morganatic, as Poniatowski's Pacta conventa required him to marry a Polish noblewoman, a requirement she satisfied, and there is no evidence that the marriage ever occurred. According to Wirydianna Fiszerowa, a contemporary who knew them both, the rumour only arose after the death of Poniatowski, was generally disbelieved, and was in fact circulated by ElÃ
¼bieta herself.
