Is greatness a part of authority exercised or a part of an image created? These and other questions are addressed in this volume on the life and memory of Grand Duke Vytautas of Lithuania (r.1392-1430). The study raises a hypothesis that Vytautas was the main engineer of his image as the great ruler while his contemporaries and later generations developed this image and adapted it to their needs and understandings. Investigating the propaganda surrounding the grand duke, this study reveals that, in fact, there were two opposite images: that of a good ruler and that of a tyrant. The paradox is that frequently these opposites were based on the same features of the grand duke's character or episodes from his biography. The research is based on a wide array of written and visual sources as well as on records of oral tradition. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Vytautas,|cGrand Duke of Lithuania,|d1350-1430.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84158374 600 04 Vytautas,|d1350-1430|cGrand Duke of Lithuania. 600 07 Vytautas,|cGrand Duke of Lithuania,|d1350-1430.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/136830 600 17 Witold (Litauen, Großfürst)|2swd 648 7 Geschichte 1400-1430|2swd 650 7 Kings and rulers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 987694 651 0 Lithuania|xKings and rulers|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh97003519|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 651 7 Lithuania.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1227863 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMickūnaitė, Giedrė.|tMaking a great ruler.|dBudapest ; New York : Central European University Press, 2006|z9637326588|z9789637326585|w(DLC) 2006020005 |w(OCoLC)70131178 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=147592|zOnline eBook.
