[3] The tense situation was only calmed when four senators sent by the Polish King Sigismund III Vasa arrived and began to sue for peace through negotiations.

A compromise was hammered out whereby the property claims of the Radziwills against the Chodkiewicz were declared void and the latter were indemnified for their handling of the assets of Princess Zofia.

[2] Janusz Radziwill petitioned Pope Clement VIII for permission to marry Zofia on 20 July 1600.

The Union of Brest of 1596 realigning the Belarusian Church and the Ukrainian Church from the Patriarchate of Constantinople to the Holy See in Rome caused enormous grief for Zofia as she did not wish to convert to Catholicism, which was being practiced by most of the Polish and Lithuanian nobility (although apparently not by her husband-to-be Janusz, who was at that stage Calvinist).

[2] The marriage between Zofia and Janusz took place in one of the cathedrals of Brest in accordance with the Orthodox rite on 1 October 1600.
