1402 CE

Another of Wladyslaw's brothers, the malcontent Švitrigaila, chooses this moment to stir up revolts behind the lines and declare himself grand duke.

On January 31, 1402, he presents himself in Marienburg, where he wins the backing of the Knights with concessions similar to those made by Jogaila and Vytautas during earlier leadership contests in the Grand Duchy.
