Biography
editHis parents had vowed that he would spend two years as the novice of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites.[1] However, he died before the age of two months; his sister, Maria Anna Teresa, had also died some months before John's birth.[2] He was buried in the Vasa Crypt, at Wawel Castle in the Tomb of the Kings.[3]
According to contemporary sources, though his name was Charles Louis (Karol Ludwik), on his coffin his name was inscribed as Jan Zygmunt (John Sigismund).[4]
