Educated in 1581 at the University of Dillingen, he went to Sweden during the rule of Sigismund III Vasa. He took part in the Jan Zamoyski expedition and during the Zebrzydowski rebellion took the side of the ruler. In 1607 he was envoy to Turkey.

In 1621 he erected a manor house in Warsaw, destroyed during the Swedish invasion, and was rebuilt as the Zaluski Library ( Bibliotekę Załuskich).[1]

His son, Jan Mikołaj Daniłowicz, also served as Grand Treasurer of the Crown. His brother Jan Daniłowicz was the grandfather of King Jan III Sobieski.
