Radvila Astikas

Radvila Astikas or Radvila Astikaitis ( _pl. Radziwiłł Ościkowicz) (1384 ndash 1477) was a Lithuanian magnate, a member of the Astikai family of Vilnius. He was one of the most influential people in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, was a member of the Lithuanian Council of Lords and was even credited as a pretender to its throne instead of Casimir Jagiellon.

He was son of Kristinas Astikas and is considered a founder of the Radvila family. Radvila Astikas was a Voivod of Trakai since 1466 and Castellan of Vilnius, as well as Grand Marshal of Lithuania. His son Mikalojus Radvila nicknamed "the Old" was the first to carry his father's name Radvila as a family name. [ [http://www.ldm.lt/Muziejusirpadaliniai/Radvilos.en.htm Radvilas Family] ]
