Daumantas (c. 1221/1240 – 20 May 1299) was a Lithuanian nobleman who reigned as Prince of Pskov from 1266 until he died in 1299. Originally a Duke of Nalšia in the Kingdom of Lithuania, Daumantas fled internal political conflict and sought refuge in Pskov, eventually becoming its ruler. Under his leadership, Pskov asserted greater political autonomy and achieved de facto independence from Novgorod. Daumantas was later canonized by the Eastern Orthodox Church for his righteous rule and defense of the city. Read more on Wikipedia
