Born in Kraków, Sulkowski was a favourite protégé of king Augustus III of Poland and acted as his Minister of State in Saxony from 1733 to 1738. He was created a Count of the Holy Roman Empire in 1733, and elevated to the rank of Prince of Bielsko by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in 1754.[1] According to some sources, Alexander Joseph was an illegitimate son born to Elżbieta Szalewska and king Augustus II the Strong, making him Augustus III's half-brother.[1] Elżbieta's husband, Stanisław Sułkowski, gave Alexander Joseph his last name.
On 31 October 1728, Sulkowski married Baroness Marie Franciszka von Stain zu Jettingen (2 February 1712 – 16 November 1741). They had eight children. In 1743, he married Countess Anna Przebendowska (25 July 1721 – 1795), with whom he had four children. Sulkowski died 21 May 1762, aged 67, in Leszno, Poland.[citation needed]
