Stanislovas Kęsgaila (died 1532)
Stanislovas Kęstgaila (1503–1532)[1] was a Lithuanian nobleman, son of Stanislovas Kęsgaila from the Kęsgailos family. Stanislovas Kęstgaila was the Elder of Samogitia (1527–1532) and castellan of Trakai (1528–1532).[2] After marriage to Anna, daughter of Stanisław Kiszka, Stanislovas was the wealthiest magnate in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[2]
When Stanislovas was appointed as the Elder of Samogitia in 1527, Grand Duke Sigismund I the Old limited power and income of the elder as 17 volosts were transferred to Grand Duke's jurisdiction.[3] The elder was left with 8 volosts (Karklėnai, Kražiai, Medingėnai, Patumšiai, Pavandenė, Tendžiogala, Viduklė and Žarėnai)[3] that had only about 10% of the Samogitian population.[2] After early death of Stanislovas, the office of the Elder of Samogitia was assigned to Piotr Kiszka,[4] not a member of the Kęsgailos family for the first time in more than a century.[5] Stanislovas' last will left about a third of his possessions to the Grand Duke, who then transferred the towns to his wife Bona Sforza.[4] Subsequently the family faded from the public life.[2]
