Gedvydas

Gedvydas (or Edivid; died c. 1253) was one of the sons of Dausprungas and nephews of Lithuanian king Mindaugas. Gedvydas together with his brother Tautvilas and uncle Vykintas waged a civil war against Mindaugas. Gedvydas' brother and uncle were more active and Gedvydas played just a secondary role in the conflict. The war resulted in the coronation of Mindaugas.
