		He agreed to negotiate and come to the camp of Jogaila after he was solemnly assured under oath that he would be able freely to return to his troops.

		The original document is witnessed by a small red lacquer seal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in a wax bowl (the right side is crushed), which is affixed to a document by a string of red, white, green silk thread.

		Jogaila had a better claim on the title of Grand Prince than did the eldest half-brother, Andrew (Andrius), because--in that strange practice widely observed in the Middle Ages--sons inherited a claim to the office held by the father at the time of their birth.
		Jogaila became ever more independent, arranging for the marriage of his sister Alexandra to a Masovian duke without asking permission, conducting joint military operations with the Livonian Order, and driving his brothers Andrew and Korybutas from their lands.
		Jogaila was already well aware of the Polish interest in arranging his marriage to Jadwiga, and Pope Urban VI had indicated his own personal interest and support.

	Lithuania - Coat of Arms
		Circa 1385-1386, when Jogaila Algirdaitis (son of Algirdas) made the knight a heraldic figure, using him as a motif on a shield, the personal portrait of the ruler acquired a common meaning.
		What is clear is that Jogaila did not inherit this symbol from his father Algirdas, because the latter used an image reminiscent of two united arrows, superimposed with a cross.
		It was therefore called the emblem of the Kestutis family, and as of the 16th C., when the Jogaila family also began to use it, it became the symbol of the entire Gediminas family dynasty.

		By this marriage Jogaila, called Jagiello by the Poles, became joint king of Lithuania and Poland, the ruler of a multicultural empire which stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
		Jadwiga, in turn, who is thought to have sacrificed herself for the sake of the Polish people by submitting to this marriage to a man who according to some reports was something of a brute, became a Catholic Saint.
		As always in such cases, the original politically-motivated conversion was only nominal, and pagan practices such as the sacrifice of horses at funerals continued in Lithuania for at least two centuries.
