Duke of the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (1642–1682). He was invested as Duke by King Michael of Poland in Warsaw in 1670. Under his rule, Courland and Semigallia became more independent of its Polish suzerain, reached its peak in wealth, and even engaged in its own overseas colonization, making it one of the smallest, but fastest growing states in the world at that time.
