 An argument has been advanced that Gediminas had two wives, one pagan and another Orthodox.This case is supported only by the "Jüngere Hochmeisterchronik", a late 15th-century chronicle, mentioning Narimantas as half-brother to Algirdas.Other historians support this claim by arguing this would explain Gediminas' otherwise mysterious designation of a middle son, Jaunutis, as his succession would be understandable if Jaunutis were the first-born son of Gediminas and a second wife.
