Something wrong?About this person
In 1975 historian Jerzy Ochmański noted that Zadonshchina, a Russian literary monument written at the end of the 14th century, contains lines in which two sons of Algirdas name their ancestors: "We are two brothers - sons of Algirdas, and grandsons of Gediminas, and great-grandsons of Skalmantas (Skolomend)." This led to the hypothesis that Skalmantas was the long-sought ancestor of the Gediminids and that he and his son Butvydas started the Gediminids dynasty.
