Mindaugas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (369 words)
It is known, that for this occasion Catholic Cathedral was built, and that Mindaugas and his wife Morta were crowned by order of pope Innocentius IV.
He and his wife Morta were baptized around 1252 by the bishop of Kulm (now Chelmno) in the presence of the Master of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword.
While most of Lithuanian grand dukes from Jogaila onward reigned also as kings of Poland, their titles remained separate, and Mindaugas was the only King of Lithuania, recognized as such by Western European rulers.
