Anna Miełżyńska was the great-grandmother of which Queen consort of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?
Anna Miełżyńska Anna Miełżyńska (about 1600-after 1640) of the Nowina clan was a Polish noble lady, the wife of Remigian Zaleski, Castellan of Łęczyca and the mother of Teresa Zaleska, who was the grandmother of Catherine Opalińska, the Queen consort of King Stanislaus Leszczynski of Poland. Her father was Łukasz Miełżyński (about 1560-1628), who was the Castellan of Gniezno (he is referred in some sources as Count). Her mother was Elżbieta Czacka (about 1575-after 1612).
Catherine the Great Catherine II (Russian: Екатерина Алексеевна "Yekaterina Alekseyevna"; 2 May [O.S. 21 April] 1729 – 17 November [O.S. 6 November] 1796 ), also known as Catherine the Great (Екатери́на Вели́кая , "Yekaterina Velikaya"), born Princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst, was Empress of Russia from 1762 until 1796, the country's longest-ruling female leader and arguably its most renowned, regardless of gender (although Peter the Great was the only Tsar officially designated as "The Great" ). She came to power following a "coup d'état" when her husband, Peter III, was assassinated. Russia was revitalised under her reign, growing larger as well as stronger in military terms and becoming recognised as one of the great powers of Europe.
