Alexandra (Polish: Aleksandra, Lithuanian: Aleksandra; died 20 April 1434 in Płock)[1] was the youngest daughter of Algirdas, Grand Duke of Lithuania, and his second wife, Uliana of Tver.[2] Though Alexandra's exact date of birth is not known, it is thought that she was born in the late 1360s or early 1370s. In 1387, she married Siemowit IV, Duke of Masovia, and bore him thirteen children.

On 12 December 1385, few months after the Union of Krewo, Siemowit IV, Duke of Masovia, reached a compromise with king Jadwiga of Poland and her intended consort king Jogaila (Władysław II Jagiełło), brother of Alexandra. Siemowit IV agreed to cease his rival claims to the Kingdom of Poland, pay homage to Jadwiga and Jogaila, and to assume position of a hereditary vassal to the Polish Crown in exchange for 10,000 Prague groschen and fief Duchy of Belz. The agreement was solidified by marriage of Siemowit IV and Alexandra in 1387.[3] Alexandra died and was buried in Płock. Her final resting place is likely a church of the Dominican Order.[4]

In her union with Siemowit, Alexandra bore 13 children—five sons and eight daughters.

Kazimierz II of Masovia Trojden II of Masovia Władysław I of Płock Siemowit V of Masovia Alexander of Masovia; who was a diplomat and Bishop of Trento, titular Bishop of Chur, titular Cardinal of Damascus, and Patriarch of Aquileia.

Alexandra (born at the end of 1360s or the beginning of 1370s in Vilnius – died on 20 April 1434 in Płońsk)[1] was the youngest daughter of Grand Duke of Lithuania Algirdas and his second wife Uliana of Tver.[2] In 1387 Alexandra married Siemowit IV, Duke of Masovia. The marriage followed Union of Krewo when Siemowit IV agreed not to rival Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila (brother of Alexandra) and to support him as the new King of Poland.[3] Alexandra's and Siemowit's daughter Cymburgis married Ernest, Duke of Austria in 1412. The wedding took place in Buda, residence of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor. At the time the emperor mediated negotiations between Alexandra's brother King of Poland Jogaila and the Teutonic Knights.[4] Two other daughters married Michael Žygimantaitis, pretender to the throne of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[2]

Aleksandra (lenk. Aleksandra Olgierdówna; g. apie 1370 m. Vilniuje – m. 1434 m. balandžio 20 d. Plockas) – jauniausia Lietuvos didžiojo kunigaikščio Algirdo ir jo antrosios žmonos Julijonos dukra.

Biografija

1387 m. Aleksandra ištekėjo už Mazovijos kunigaikščio Zemovito IV. Vedybos įvyko po Krėvos unijos, kai Zemovitas IV sutiko nekonkuruoti su Aleksandros broliu Lietuvos didžiuoju kunigaikščiu Jogaila ir palaikyti jį kaip naująjį Lenkijos karalių.

Aleksandros ir Zemovito IV dukra Cimburga 1412 m. ištekėjo už Austrijos hercogo Ernsto Geležinio (vok. Ernst der Eiserne). Vestuvės įvyko Budoje, Šventosios Romos imperatoriaus Zigmanto Liuksemburgiečio rezidencijoje. Tuo metu imperatorius buvo tarpininkas derybose tarp Aleksandros brolio Jogailos ir Teutonų ordino. Dvi kitos dukterys buvo ištekėjusios už Mykolo Žygimantaičio, kuris buvo kandidatas į Lietuvos didžiosios kunigaikštystės sostą.
