Karijotas

Karijotas or Koriat (baptized Michal; died between 1358 and 1363) was the Duke of Navahrudak (Lithuanian: Naugardukas) and Vaŭkavysk (Lithuanian: Valkaviskas), one of the sons of Gediminas, Grand Duke of Lithuania.

According to Polish historian Jan Tęgowski, he was born probably between 1305 and 1308.[1] He was baptized before 1349.[2]

In 1349 Algirdas sent him along with two sons, Aikštas or Eikšis from Eišiškės and Simeon from Svislach,[3] to Jani Beg, Khan of the Golden Horde, to negotiate an alliance against the Teutonic Knights and rising Grand Duchy of Moscow.[4] However, Jani Beg handed Karijotas over to Simeon of Russia for a ransom.
