Daumantas or Dovmont〔For the sake of simplicity, the original Lithuanian personal name ''Daumantas'' is used in the first part of this article concerning his activities in Lithuania, while the Russian version ''Dovmont'' is used in his affairs connected with Pskov.〕 (Russian: Довмонт, Belarusian: Даўмонт), Christian name Timothy ((ロシア語:Тимофей)), ; c. 1240? – May 17, 1299), was a Lithuanian princeling best remembered as a military leader of the Pskov Republic between 1266 and 1299. During his term in office, Pskov became de facto independent from Novgorod. He is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox Church with his feast day observed on May 20.〔 ''(Ὁ Ἅγιος Τιμόθεος τοῦ Πσκώφ ).'' 20 Μαΐου. ΜΕΓΑΣ ΣΥΝΑΞΑΡΙΣΤΗΣ.〕 == In Lithuania == Until 1265, Daumantas〔.S.C.Rowell. Lithuania Ascending: A Pagan Empire Within East-Central Europe.1994, p.178〕 was Duke of Nalšia, a northern province of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and was an ally of King Mindaugas. Mindaugas' and Daumantas' wives were sisters. In spite of the family relationship, Daumantas chose to ally himself with Mindaugas' nephew Treniota, who was Duke of Samogitia. Treniota had been steadily increasing his personal power within the kingdom as he tried to spark an all-Balts rebellion against the Teutonic Knights and the Livonian Order. In 1263, Daumantas assassinated Mindaugas and two of his sons. It has been suggested that he acted in collusion with Treniota. As a result the Grand Duchy of Lithuania relapsed into paganism for another one hundred and twenty years. Some Russian chronicles say that Daumantas' motive for the murder was to further his power and get revenge: after Queen Morta's death c. 1262, Mindaugas took Daumantas' wife for himself. When Mindaugas dispatched a large army towards Bryansk, Daumantas participated in the expedition, but suddenly returned and killed Mindaugas and two of his sons. According to the ''Bychowiec Chronicle'' (a late and not very reliable source), Daumantas received the title, Duke of Utena, as his reward. When Vaišelga, the eldest son of Mindaugas, entered into an alliance with Shvarn of Halych-Volhynia in 1264, he was able to take revenge for his father's death by killing Treniota. Daumantas and his followers fled to Pskov. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daumantas of Pskov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
