description: "Žvelgaitis was a Lithuanian duke. He is the first Lithuanian duke whose name is known from reliable sources. The account of his campaign and death is given in Livonian Chronicle of Henry by Henry of Latvia, an early thirteenth-century German chronicler of Latvian history, spanning the years 1186-1227. Žvelgaitis is called \"rich and powerful,\" but he was not the supreme duke, as he led the army in the name of another, more powerful duke."
