Event
Supremus Dux Lithuaniae
Although our Flavor Rank has expanded beyond its original borders and now incorporates many peoples, we have never properly styled ourselves as more than a Ruler Title, despite being mightier than many in Europe. Target Character is not one to accept that his/her titles are inferior to those of his/her enemies. For that reason, he/she wishes to style himself/herself as something greater — above mere Dukes, and certainly equal to Kings.
Such an effort would surely hurt our legitimacy in the short term. However, maintaining a degree of humility would prevent our subjects from seeing us as overlords who view them as inferior. Yet, in the struggle for power within Europe, humility often leads to decline.

1630historical_info = flavor_lit.20.historical_info The aftermath of the Lithuanian civil war of 1381 and the Ostrów Agreement left Vytautas the Great as the sole monarch of the Grand Duchy. Seeking to further legitimize his rule and claim succession from the Kievan Rus', he styled himself as Supremus Dux Lithuaniae, the Supreme Duke of Lithuania — a title not consistently used before his time. This designation persisted even under the Polish Commonwealth until the state's partition by the Austrians, Prussians, and Russians.
