Litovoi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Litovoi was a voivode on the west bank of the river Olt (ruling the territory of the present Romanian county of Gorj).

Litovoi is mentioned in a 1247 document as being a vassal of king Bela IV of Hungary. In 1277, profiting from the internal instability created in Hungary by the minority of king Ladislaus IV, he started an uprising against his lord. He was defeated and killed.
