Gediminids

gediminids
The Gediminids Lithuanian: Gediminaičiai, Polish: Giedyminowicze, Belarusian: Гедзімінавічы, Ukrainian: Гедиміновичі, Russian: Гедиминовичи were a dynasty of monarchs in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that reigned from the 14th to the 16th century One branch of this dynasty, known as the Jagiellons, reigned also in the Kingdom of Poland, Kingdom of Hungary and Kingdom of Bohemia Several other branches ranked among the leading aristocratic dynasties of Russia and Poland into recent times

Their monarchical title in Lithuanian primarily was, by some folkloristic data, kunigų kunigas "Duke of Dukes", and later on, didysis kunigas "Great/High Duke" or, in a simple manner, kunigaikštis In the 18th century the latter form was changed into tautological didysis kunigaikštis, which nevertheless would be translated as "Grand Duke" for its etymology, see Grand Prince

Originedit

The origin of Gediminas himself is much debated Some sources say he was Vytenis' ostler, others that he was of peasant stock Some historians consider him as the son or grandson of Lithuanian or Yatvingian duke Skalmantas Most scholars agree, however, that Gediminas was Vytenis' brother the parentage of Vytenis is explained differently in various fake genealogies, compiled from the 16th century onwards; according to the latest Polish research, his parentage cannot be established1

Branches of the dynastyedit

The Eastern Orthodox branches of the family were mostly Ruthenian, which also was one of the two main languages of their established state Some of these families eg, Czartoryski later converted to Roman Catholicism and became thoroughly Polonized Others eg, Galitzine moved to Muscovy and became thoroughly Russified

In Poland, most Gediminid families such as Olelkowicz-Słucki, Wiśniowiecki, Zbaraski are extinct, but at least some families survive to the present: Korecki, Khovanski, Czartoryski, Sanguszko, and Koriatowicz-Kurcewicz

The Russian Gediminid families include Bulgakov, Golitsin, Kurakin, Khovansky, Trubetskoy, Mstislavsky, Belsky, and Volynsky
