Juo taip pat siekiama užaštrinti moterų padėties pagonybės laikų Lietuvos visuomenėje refleksiją. Tyrimas atliktas taikant analitinį ir palyginamąjį istorijos šaltinių nagrinėjimo metodą, stengiantis kiek įmanoma griežčiau skirti vienalaikių šaltinių teikiamą informaciją nuo vėlesnės istoriografinės tradicijos suformuotų įvaizdžių. Straipsnyje kvestionuojami šiuolaikinėje istorio- grafijoje ir mūsų dienų kultūrinėje atmintyje įsigalėję stereotipai apie didelę Julijonos politinę įtaką Lietuvos politiniame gyvenime. Tuo siekiama atkreipti dėmesį ir į istorinių šaltinių informa- cijos problemiškumą, ir aiškiau apibūdinti pagonybės laikų Lietuvos politinės kultūros formuotus rėmus, brėžusius ribas valdančiosios dinastijos atstovių politiniam veikimui.

    FIGHTERS FOR FREEDOM Lithuanian Partisans Versus the U.S.S.R. by Juozas Daumantas This is a factual, first-hand account of the activities of the armed resistance movement in Lithuania during the first three years of Russian occupation (1944-47) and of the desperate conditions which brought it about. The author, a leading figure in the movement, vividly describes how he and countless other young Lithuanian men and women were forced by relentless Soviet persecutions to abandon their everyday activities and take up arms against their nation’s oppressors. Living as virtual outlaws, hiding in forests, knowing that at any moment they might be hunted down and killed like so many wild animals, these young freedom fighters were nonetheless determined to strike back with every resource at their command. We see them risking their lives to protect Lithuanian farmers against Red Army marauders, publishing underground news­ papers to combat the vast Communist propaganda machine, even pitting their meager forces against the dreaded NKVD and MGB.

  • Titles, Seals and Coats of Arms As Symbols of Power and Importance of Lithuanian Dukes Before the Union of Lublin
    ZAPISKI HISTORYCZNE — TOM LXXXII — ROK 2017 Zeszyt 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.15762/ZH.2017.06 JAKUB ROGULSKI (Jagiellonian University in Kraków) Titles, Seals and Coats of Arms as Symbols of Power and Importance of Lithuanian Dukes Before the Union of Lublin Keywords: middle ages, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, parallel branches of a ruling house, dukes, demonstration of power, titulature, sigillography, heraldry Introduction The symbols1 of power and importance of Lithuanian dukes before the Union of Lublin have not become a separate subject of historians’ studies so far. In the historiography the largest attention has been drawn to the demon­ stration of power of the grand dukes of Lithuania, especially from the Jagiel­ lonian dynasty.2 Meanwhile, the signs which served to display the power or significance of other Lithuanian dukes have been raised incidentally and se­ lectively. The reason could be that in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania there 1 A symbol is understood in a way proposed by Charles S. Peirce, i.e. a material object which stands for or suggests something else (another object, idea, meaning, belief, action etc.) only on the basis of social convention, in contrast to the iconic sign based on similarity, and the indexical sign based on material contact: Charles Sanders Peirce, The Essential Peirce: Selected Philosophical Writings, Bloomington (Indiana) 1998, p. 9. As this kind of sign will be the main subject of the following analysis, the word “symbol” will be further used interchangeably with the word “sign.” 2 See: Ryszard Kiersnowski, Godła Jagiellońskie, Wiadomości Numizmatyczne, vol. 2: 1988, pp.

  • Bogurodzica Song
    History of the Origin of the Bogurodzica Song. A Musical Monument of 1407 Ivan KUZMINSKYI History of the Origin of the Bogurodzica Song. A Musical Monument of 1407 Giesmės „Bogurodzica“ kilmė – 1407 m. muzikinis paminklas Ukraine P. Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music, ul. Architektora Gorodeckogo 1-3/11, 01001 Kyiv, Ukraine Email [email protected] Abstract In Polish musical historiography, the song Bogurodzica is considered to be the oldest artifact of Polish song culture written in a staff notation. This article attempts to study the history of this song’s emergence and distribution not only against the background of Polish musical culture of the late 14th– early 15th centuries, but also under the conditions of the Kievan Rus’ and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Firstly, the article presents the main written sources of the Bogurodzica in the 15th–16th centuries and analyzes the title, verbal text and the plot of the Bogurod- zica as well as the origins of the melody. Secondly, the text focuses on Ruthenian Court Musicians of the King Władysław II Jagiełło, musical contacts between the courts of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas and the great masters of the Teutonic Order, the place and meaning of the Mother of God churches in the Kievan Rus’, battle prayers to the Mother of God in the Ruthenian princely environment, singing to the Mother of God before battle in the Kievan Rus’ and the Ruthenian cult of the Mother of God in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This research provides new grounds to consider the Bogurodzica as a piece of work of the ancient Ruthenian culture and suggests that eventually it could be included into the contemporary musical historiography of Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania.

  • The Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Beginning of the 15Th
    THE GRAND DUCHY OF LITHUANIA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 15 TH CENTURY A er the death of Grand Duke Algirdas (1345–1377), his son Jogaila became the leader. In order to divert all a ention to the East, Jogaila signed a secret agreement with the Order, known as the Treaty of Dovydiškės, according to which the Order was free to a ack the lands belonging to Algirdas’ brother Kęstutis and his son, Vytautas. e Order informed Kęstutis of this agreement and in so doing initiated a civil war in Lithuania. At + rst, Kęstutis removed Jogaila from his seat of power, however, in 1382, Jogaila conquered Vilnius and imprisoned Kęstutis and Vytautas. Kęstutis was held prisoner in Krėva Castle, and was strangled by Jogaila’s servants. Vytautas managed to escape and sought protection with the Crusaders. Vytautas and Jogaila made peace in 1384, yet Jogaila once again failed to keep his promise to return Vytautas his fatherland, the Duchy of Trakai. In 1390–1392 Vytautas again appealed to the Order for assistance to go to war against Jogaila. Jogaila, who by now spent most of his time in Poland, could see that his appointed vicegerent, his brother Skirgaila, was unable to manage the internal opposition and so, once again made peace with Vytautas in 1392. at same year Vytautas became the actual leader of Lithuania, and o6 cially assumed this position in 1401. Wishing to reinforce Lithuania’s supremacy in the East – in the Ruzen and Tatars’ lands, Vytautas and the Order agreed on the Treaty of Salynas. According to this agreement, Vytautas relinquished Samogitia as far as Nevėžis and Kaunas as far as Rumšiškės to the Order.

  • Kunigaikštis Vaidotas Kęstutaitis
    ISSN 1822-2617 KAUNO ISTORIJOS METRAŠTIS STRAIPSNIAI 2013/13 Vytas JANKAUSKAS Kunigaikštis Vaidotas Kęstutaitis Reikšminiai žodžiai: Vaidotas Kęstutaitis, Gediminaičiai, dinastija, LDK, XIV a. unigaikštis Vaidotas Kęstutai- tis – pirmasis kaunietis, 1362 m. pasižymėjęs tuo, jog pirmąją mūrinę Kauno pilį gynė jo vadovaujamaK įgula. Nepaisant to, kad Vaidotas šaltiniuose buvo paminėtas vos kelis kartus, tai tyrinėtojams kelia daugiau klau- simų, negu duoda atsakymų. Neabejotina yra viena – Vaidotas buvo vienas vyresnių Kęstučio sūnų, dar XIX a. istoriografijoje patraukęs tam tikrą tyri- nėtojų dėmesį. Istorikų Vaidotas pastebėtas Kauno pilies gynyboje ir, pagal to meto šaltinius, jam buvo leista mirti Vokiečių ordino belaisviu.1 Ne mažiau kontroversiška ir šių dienų istoriografinė situacija: Stephenas C. Rowellas savo tyrimuose iškėlė hipotezę, jog Vaidoto, kaip dar vieno Kęstučio sūnaus, apskri- tai nebuvo, o Vygando Marburgiečio kronikoje buvo neteisingai įrašytas / per- skaitytas Kęstučio sūnaus vardas (šis kunigaikštis įvardytas būtent Vygando Marburgiečio kronikoje, kuri išlikusi iš vėlyvo XV a. lotyniško vertimo, skir- to Janui Dlugošui), todėl reikėtų kalbėti apie ankstesnį Butauto pasirodymą šaltiniuose.2 Paskutiniuosius tyrimus atlikęs Janas Tęgowskis pateikia trumpą Vaidoto biogramą: Vaidotas buvo vyriausiasis Kęstučio ir Birutės (kuri buvo vienintelė Kęstučio žmona) sūnus, pirmą kartą paminėtas 1362 m., buvo pate- kęs į Vokiečių ordino nelaisvę, ne vėliau negu 1365 m. grįžo į Lietuvą (vei- kiausiai buvo tėvo išpirktas), kur gavo Naugarduko kunigaikštystę, ten vedė ir laimingai gyveno, susilaukė net dviejų sūnų – Jurgio ir Konrado, o pats buvo 1 J.

  • The Triumphant Genealogical Awareness of the Nobility In
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 22 2018 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 29–49 THE TRIUMPHANT GENEALOGICAL AWARENESS OF THE NOBILITY IN THE GRAND DUCHY OF LITHUANIA IN THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURIES Agnė Railaitė-Bardė (Lithuanian Institute of History) ABSTRACT This article attempts to show how the manifestation of ancestors was expressed in the genealogical awareness of the nobility in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, using publications to mark special occasions in the 17th and 18th centuries, genealogical trees and diagrams. The research seeks to establish what effect the exaltation of various battles had on the genealogical memory of the nobility in the Grand Duchy, bearing in mind the context of its involvement in one of the most famous battles it ever fought. The genealogical sources mentioned were examined in order to ascertain which battles and what memories of the commanders who fought in them were important to the genealogical awareness of the nobility, and why this memory was selective, for some battles and notable heroes from these battles are remembered and glorified, while others are simply forgotten. Memories of which battles were important to the genealogical presentation of certain families, how was it expressed, and in what period were the ancestors who participated in these battles remembered? The first part of the study presents the memory of ancestors as soldiers, and the ways this memory was expressed. The second part focuses on an- cestors who distinguished themselves in specific battles, and which family members who participated in battles are remembered and honoured, in this way distinguishing them from other ancestors. KEYWORDS: Grand Duchy of Lithuania; nobility; genealogical awareness; militaristic; heraldry.
