I am Elżbieta Branicka, I was a Polish noblewoman (szlachcianka) and politician. I am known for my political career, being the financier of the King Stanisław August Poniatowski prior to his election as king, his adviser in 1763–1776, and as one of the leaders of opposition in 1776–1793. I also had an intimate relationship with the king from 1763 to 1776.
