History[]
Vytautas (c. 1350 โ 27 October 1430), also known as Vytautas the Great (Lithuanian: Vytautas Didysis, Vitaลญt; Polish: Witold Kiejstutowicz, Witold Aleksander, or Witold Wielki; Ruthenian: Vitovt; Latin: Alexander Vitoldus; Old German: Wythaws or Wythawt) from the late 14th century onwards, was a ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He was also the Prince of Grodno (1370โ1382), Prince of Lutsk (1387โ1389), and the postulated king of the Hussites. In modern Lithuania, Vytautas is revered as a national hero and was an important figure in the national rebirth in the 19th century.
