 In June 1583 Zamoyski took his third wife , Gryzelda Bathory , a relative of king Bathory himself . In May 1584 Zamoyski 's men captured Samuel Zborowski , a noble whose death sentence for treason and murder had been pending for roughly a decade , shortly afterwards with Bathory 's consent Zborowski was executed . This political conflict between Báthory , Zamoyski and the Zborowski family , framed as the clash between the monarch and the nobility , would be a major recurring controversy in internal Polish politics for many years , beginning with a major dispute at the Sejm of 1585 .
