List of Lithuanian royal consorts

none

Summary

none

The consort (or spouse) of the royal rulers of Lithuania and of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was in all cases a woman and nearly all took the title of Grand Duchess.

Queen consort of [[Kingdom of Lithuania|Lithuania]]

Morta and her sister were the only Queens of Lithuania; her successors took the title of "Grand Duchess" instead.

The short-lived Kingdom of Lithuania of 1918 had a King-Elect Mindaugas II of Lithuania: but his first wife, Duchess Amalie in Bavaria, had died six years earlier, and his second marriage, to Princess Wiltrud of Bavaria, occurred six years after the Kingdom was replaced by a Republic.

VidaVidmundIt is uncertain how many wives Gediminas had. The Bychowiec Chronicle mentions three wives: Vida from Courland; Olga from Smolensk; and Jaunė from Polotsk, who was Eastern Orthodox and died in 1344 or 1345. Most modern historians and reference works say Gediminas' wife was Jaunė, dismissing Vida and Olga as fictitious, since no sources other than this chronicle mention the other two wives.Gediminas
