His marriage to Katarzyna Eugenia Tyszkiewicz, widow of Konstanty Wisniowiecki's son, led to the conflict between Aleksander Ludwik Radziwll and Jeremi Wisniowiecki over the inheritance of Konstanty.
Eventually, Katarzyna defected to Jeremi's side and divorced Aleksander, who was forced to give up his claims.He kept away from politics during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, but supported Wladyslaw IV Vasa, in his election in 1632.
However towards the end of his life he distanced himself from Wladyslaw, by opposing his plans of war with Ottomans.
