	Legacy of Medieval Lithuania
		It remains only for the author to associate the conquest of "Baltic-Lithuanian" lands from Novgorodok not with Mindaugas, but with other(s) from the twelfth, or better still, tenth or eleventh centuries when the Lithuanians were not recorded by the chronicles, or if so, only once or twice.
		Mindaugas is portrayed as having been a mercenary in the Lithuanian Treaty with Volyn in 1219: Lithuanians had pledged the dukes of Volyn to fight against Poland
		It is clear from this that Mindaugas' patrimony and his main residence were elsewhere and that during Daniil's attack he was in one way or another ruling both areas.
