New monument of our history in Latvia. Latvian history too :)

[vyrud]

Few weeks ago in Latvia, township of Aglona, has been officially opened monument of the first and the single king of Lithuania Mindaugas and his wife queen Morta. It is widely assumed that Mindaugas is important figure and "own man" only in history of Lithuania and Belarus. But Latvians also treat him as an "own man". And this belief isn't

Interesting moment: as I remember, Mindaugas died as pagan, but catholic church takes participation in opening of this monument.

This is interesting observation: yes, he died as the pagan. The trick may be that monument is built near Aglona cathedral which is the center of the catholics in Latvia
