I doubt any of that resemblance is anything but accidental. Olgierd is mostly based on a Polish legend of Sir Twardowski. Twardowski was a Polish aristocrat from Cracow. Olgierd is a Redanian aristocrat (Redania is based on Poland), and his outfit is based on traditional Polish outfit from the region Cracow is in. Twardowski sold his soul to the devil in exchange for magical powers and such and he was supposed to enjoy these powers for specific amount of time until they meet in Rome and the devil will take his soul. He never intended to go to Rome, but he was tricked into entering an inn that was named "Rome". When he was carried to hell he prayed and that caused him to be dropped and land on the Moon, where he is supposed to be forever. Olgierds story is loosely based on that.
