1:37Now PlayingIn 1323, disaster struck the Kingdom of Ruthenia! 👑 King Andrew and King Lev II were killed fighting the Golden Horde without leaving any heirs, ending Danylo's branch of the Rurikid bloodline. The resulting power vacuum saw Ruthenia partitioned by Poland and a surprising new superpower: the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Under Grand Duke Gediminas, this pagan military juggernaut defeated the Mongols to annex vast swathes of proto-Ukrainian lands, including Kyiv! #UkraineHistory #HistoryShorts #Lithuania #Ruthenia #MedievalHistory #GoldenHorde #EasternEurope
