Vytenis

Vytenis was Grand Duke of Lithuania from about 1295 to about 1316, the first Gediminid to enjoy a long reign. As grand duke he recovered Ruthenian lands lost after Mindaugas' death and took Pinsk and Turov. In 1298, allied with Riga, he defeated the Livonian Order at Turaida, killing Land Master Bruno, and around 1307 he annexed Polatsk.

He campaigned against the Teutonic Knights and was last recorded in September 1315 besieging Christmemel. He died soon after without an heir, and his brother Gediminas succeeded.
