Union of Vilnius and Radom
- Union of Vilnius and Radom
The Union of Vilnius and Radom was a set of acts passed in 1401 in Vilnius, Lithuania, and confirmed by the Crown Council in Radom later the same year. The union amended the earlier act of the Krewo Union, confirming the Ostrów Agreement, and granted the Grand Duchy of Lithuania vast internal autonomy. Vytautas the Great was instituted as the Grand Duke of Lithuania while his cousin Jogaila retained the rights of an overlord. Jogaila was to inherit the Grand Duchy if Vytautas died first, and Vytautas was to be consulted on the election of new Polish king if Jogaila was to die first; each of them hoped to sire legitimate sons that would inherit both the Kingdom pf Poland and the Grand Duchy (eventually it would be Jogaila who would succeed in this) [http://books.google.com/books?id=HMylRh-wHWEC&pg=PA44&dq=Vytautas+1392&as_brr=3&ei=5LRER8btCYGc6wK1zfTxBg&sig=R6MSuBuiIwDksRBzHna7-yNltCw] . The alliance allowed Vytautas to launch an offensive against his former allies, the Teutonic Knights, and capture Samogitia.
