| | Grand Duke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The title Magnus Dux or Grand Duke (Didysis kunigaikštis in Lithuanian) is said to have been used by the rulers of Lithuania, and after Jagiello also became kings of Poland. | | | After the Russian conquests, it continued to be used by the Russian Emperor in his role as ruler of Lithuania (1793-1918) and of autonomous Finland (1809-1917) as well. | | | By the time Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks, the office had become virtual chief minister, heading both civil and military administration. |
