Vytautas, also known as Vytautas the Great from the late 14th century onwards, was a ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. He was also the prince of Grodno (1370–1382), prince of Lutsk (1387–1389), and the postulated king of the Hussites.
Vytautas proved his military skills and came to be known as Vytautas the Great. Vytautas continued to rule Lithuania very ably, but his ambition to be crowned King of Lithuania was not realized. He died on October 27, 1430. When riding from Vilnius to Trakai with some important guests, Vytautas fell from his horse.
