David of Hrodna

Lithuanian military commander

1280 CE to 1326 CE

David (killed in 1326) is a castellan of Hrodna and one of the most famous military commanders of Gediminas, Grand Duke of Lithuania.

He might have been the son of Daumantas of Pskov and great grandson of Alexander Nevsky.

Maciej Stryjkowski claims that David was married to one of the daughters of Gediminas.

He seems to have been a middleman between the pagan Gediminas and the Christian princes of the Rurikid family and frequently led into battle the united Lithuanian-Ruthenian armies.
