From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duke of Navahrudak and Vawkavysk

Karijotas or Koriat (baptized Michal; died between 1358 and 1363) was the duke of Navahrudak and Vawkavysk. A member of the House of Gediminas, he was one of the sons of Gediminas, the grand duke of Lithuania.

According to Polish historian Jan Tęgowski, he was born probably between 1305 and 1308.[1] He was baptized before 1349.[2]

In 1349, Algirdas sent him along with two sons, Aikštas or Eikšis from Eišiškės and Simeon from Svislach,[3] to Jani Beg, Khan of the Golden Horde, to negotiate an alliance against the Teutonic Knights and the rising Russian principality of Moscow.[4] However, Jani Beg handed Karijotas over to Simeon of Moscow for a ransom.

It is unclear how many children Karijotas had. The number varies between 4[5] and 10.[6] Reliable data is available about four: Aleksander, George, Konstantin, and Fedir, who helped Algirdas, the grand duke of Lithuania, to defeat the Tatars in the Battle of Blue Waters in 1363. In return, they received Podolia.[5] Aleksander (died c. 1380) was involved in the Galicia–Volhynia Wars between his uncle Liubartas and Casimir III of Poland. In 1366, Aleksander received Vladimir-in-Volhynia from Casimir for his service against his uncle.[7] Only four years later, after Casimir's death, Liubartas recaptured the city. George (died in 1375 in Moldavia) at first assisted Aleksander, but was poisoned soon after accepting an invitation to become the ruler of Moldavia.[8] Kostantin, after the Union of Krewo in 1385, moved to Hungary and died there around 1389. Fedir (d. 1414) inherited Navahrudak from his father and after other brothers were dead around 1389, became ruler of all Podolia. In 1392, he disobeyed Vytautas the Great and had to run to Hungary, where he ruled Mukachevo and built Palanok Castle.[8] Dmitri Bobrok is also frequently listed as one of Koriat's sons.[9]
