In 1250 or 1251, he was baptised as a Roman Catholic. In 1253, p...

    Attempts of coronation in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania

All three attempts were unsuccessful because the political situation was much more complicated—by this point the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland were under a joint rule of Grand Duke of Lithua...
