Lithuanian noble
Petras Jonaitis Mantigirdaitis
(
Polish
:
Piotr Janowicz Montygerdowicz
; died after 1497) was a prominent
Lithuanian noble
. Grandson of
Petras Mantigirdaitis
, he first appeared in written sources in 1476 and reached his career high in the 1490s, when he was
Voivode of Trakai
(1490?97) and
Grand Marshal of Lithuania
(1491?97).
[1]
Chronicler
Marcin Bielski
described that
Alexander Jagiellon
was crowned and blessed as the new
Grand Duke of Lithuania
by the
Bishop of Vilnius
in 1492. Then Mantigirdaitis presented Alexander with a naked sword and a reminder that Alexander was elected to be a just ruler.
[2]
In 1494, Mantigirdaitis was sent on the diplomatic mission to negotiate peace with the
Grand Duchy of Moscow
and marriage of
Helena of Moscow
to Alexander to end the
First Muscovite?Lithuanian War
.
[3]
Mantigirdaitis is mentioned as the first
Grand Hetman of Lithuania
. The
Bychowiec Chronicle
describes how Grand Duke Alexander visited the ailing Mantigirdaitis in Trakai and asked for his recommendations for a successor. Mantigirdaitis recommended
Konstanty Ostrogski
.
[4]
Mantigirdaitis is also mentioned as Hetman in a surviving copy of a donation document by Grand Duke Alexander that Vytas Jankauskas dated March 1494. If the date is correct, this would indicate that the Hetman position developed during the
First Muscovite?Lithuanian War
(1492?94).

There is no information available on his father, thus historians assume he died in his youth.
[1]
Mantigirdaitis was married twice. His first wife was Anna, daughter of
Jonas V??evi?ius
, regent of
Smolensk
.
[1]
They had a son and a daughter. Their son Jonas died in the
Battle of Vedrosha
ending the family line.
[5]
Their daughter Sophia married
Stanisław Kiszka
, who inherited the family's substantial wealth.
[6]
Mantigirdaitis' second wife was Anna, daughter of Alexander
Al??ni?kis
[1]
or of
Fyodor Koributovich
[

, son of
Kaributas
;
[4]
they had no children. In 1482, Anna funded the Chapel of Holy Trinity in
Vilnius Cathedral
.
[1]
It is likely that Mantigirdaitis funded the Catholic church in
Iwye
, his most important estate.
