Editing James Louis Sobieski (section)

===Exile in Oława and imprisonment===
After the coronation of King Augustus II, Sobieski began negotiations to reconcile with the new Polish king nad Lithuanian grand duke. During the talks Jakub was accused of trying to organize a rebellion against the new monarch, and as a result, lost substantial land holdings. Offended, Sobieski refused to pay homage to Augustus and left the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] for Oława in Silesia.

In 1704 Jakub Ludwik Sobieski and his brother Alexander were seized by Augustus II's troops in the vicinity of [[Wrocław]] and imprisoned over fears by Augustus that Sobieski may try to gain the Polish-Lithuanian throne. The brothers remained in prison in [[Pleissenburg]] and [[Königstein, Saxony|Königstein]] for two years before finally being released after the Treaty of [[Altranstädt]] where he signed a formal agreement to never again make any attempt to become King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania.
