From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Königsberg was signed in Königsberg on May 24, 1390 between Vytautas the Great and representatives of the Teutonic Order. The accord established an alliance between the signatories. Jogaila was responsible for convincing his cousin Vytautas to support the Teutonic Knights.[1]
