Vaidila

Lithuanian noble, brother-in-law of Jogaila · Died 1381

Vaidila was a favorite and brother-in-law of Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania. The Lithuanian Chronicles present Vaidila as a kitchen assistant who rose to the top and entered the nobility only through his marriage to Jogaila's sister Maria in 1379. However, this portrayal is likely biased propaganda.

Vaidila is read about 6 times a day, in 8 languages.
