Description

Why was Vilnius founded and how was it done – these are the main questions examined in this study. Vilnius was first mentioned in written sources on January 25, 1323, after the state had already been established and the Gediminas dynasty had established itself. And what was happening in this area before that time, what were the beginnings of the city and when did they appear? The book also touches on other topics related to the founding of the city: the formation of the state, the establishment of the monarchy, the transition of Baltic society from a tribal community to a feudal society.
