Marysieńka lured Sobieski into a nocturnal trap with a secret meeting

After her husband's death, Marysieńka's relationship with Jan Sobieski was no longer formally impossible, but the situation remained delicate—the funeral was to take place only weeks later. For several days Marysieńka avoided her lover, then invited him to a secret nighttime meeting in her chambers. The future King of Poland did not know the encounter had been carefully planned as a calculated trap.
