1268 CE
The struggle for power within Lithuania continues.
Before a clear winner can emerge, Shvarm dies in Kholm.
He is buried in an Orthodox Cathedral that once stood on a place now occupied by the Basilica of the Birth of the Virgin Mary.
After his death, most of his lands revert to Lithuania and come under the control of Traidenis, a previously less-known noble from the Lithuanian Highlands.
