Vygantas

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Vygantas (baptized Alexander; Polish: Wigunt, died on June 28, 1392) was Duke of Kernav . He was one of the sons of Algirdas, Grand Duke of Lithuania (1345 1377), and his second wife Uliana Alexandrovna of Tver. Vygantas should not be confused with his brother Andrei of Polotsk, who is sometimes called Wigunt Andrei following confused 15th century chronicles of Jan D ugosz. Kazimierz Stadnicki in his work Bracia W adys awa-Jagie y Olgierdowicza (published in 1867) suggested that Vygantas and his elder brother Theodore were the same person, but this theory was rejected. In 1385 Vygantas supported his older brother Jogaila by signing the Union of Krewo.
