COURT RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES 268 CONCLUSIONS 274 SANTRUMPOS 281 ŠALTINIAI IR LITERATURA 283 CONCLUSIONS Upon classification of the VLC archaeological material, the versatile life-style of the Lithuanian ruler s Vilnius court was revealed, therefore we could discuss its various aspects through the prism ofluxury. On comparison of archaeological data with written sources and iconography, we may have a picture as to the size of the ruler s court and its variation over time. We can see how it changed along with formation and expansion of town. Furthermore, due to strengthening po¬ sitions of the ruling stratum not only in the town, but also in the State, the State itself managed to stand up as an equal partner side by side to other European countries as early as the 14th c, and in particular in the 15th century. Speaking in spiritual-cultural terms, Lithuania preserved its customs and traditions, but tolerated foreigners and infidels and managed to integrate into the cultural con¬ text of Europe. In the 12th - ist half of the 13th с Vilnius was one of the greatest and best fortified wooden castles of the duke in the land of Lithuania (in a narrow sense). The duke s residency was on the highest and best protected from all sides hill with steep slopes (hill of Gediminas). From North it was protected by riverbed of Neris, from South by boggy valley of Vilnia River. The fortified Crooked Castle shielded it from the East and castle-side on the lower hill (the Lower Castle) from the West. The castle-side represented a craftsmen s settlement, which was subject to the ruler and survived to the 15th с Dimensions of castle and population living at it demonstrated the ruler s - suzerain s power. Existence of crafstmen: jewelers, carpenters, smiths, pot-makers, spinners, weavers, dressmakers, shoemakers and others is evidenced by tools, raw materials, waste, unfinished goods of weaving, spinning, sewing, wood processing, smithery, 274 jewelry etc. collected around the remains of Baltic and Gothic castles, in sites of former wooden structures. Craftsmen not only served the ruler, they made articles for market. One can maintain it judging by collected adornments analogous to those from other Lithuanian archaeological monuments. The craftsmen s settlement fortified by a wall and a defensive ditch became a town in the 13th c. when the trade became more active, in the Middle Ages the closed castle-side territory, along with the town developing within the stone wall was regarded as the ruler s court. In other words, in the 13th - ist half of the 14th с the whole Vilnius was the ruler s court. Since the middle of the 14th c, basing on the archaeological investigations, the town moved outside the defensive wall. The process of regrouping of social-manufacturing forces - migration of rural population to towns and GO Gediminas letters inviting foreign craftsmen - account for this move. After expansion of the town, the territory of the castles - the Upper and the Lower ones - girdled by stone wall existed as a town within a town with its self-rule and regulations. In the middle of the 13th c. in the place of the wooden castle the first stone castle in Lithuania was built for the grand duke of Lithuania. This date is confirmed by the VLC archaeological material, architectural investigations of excavated stone walls, as well as the dendrochronological and radiocarbon tests of wood taken from bottom of foundations of earliest stone walls and the historic data of the middle of the 13th с Construction of a stone castle is related to formation of the State, to birth and strengthening of the undivided power. The stone castle demonstrates its host s might, wealth and predilection to luxury, since in those times barely wooden castles were built in Lithuania. The written sources of that period mention only the construction of a stone cathedral in 1251 on the occasion of christening. Nevertheless, the stone residencies - the Upper Castle and some buildings of the Lower Castle, as well as defensive walls girdling them were built most likely in relation to Lithuania s christening and GD Mindaugas coronation in 1253 and his residing in Vilnius. Judging by interior details and finds of cult purpose, some early stone buildings of VLC carried a religious character, beside that of defense. Cult paraphernalia (sticks, amulets) found between the corner of the ruler s court and the Cathedral, attributable to the early period of castle, confirm the existence of a pagan temple in the 12th - 14th с in the VLC territory. In the mid-^th c. in the place of pagan 275 temple, the first Catholic church was built and, what is quite credible, the bishop housed at it. The remains of a luxurious building of a representative character back this statement, along with collected church things of the 13th c, such as candlesticks, aquamanille and cult bowl. At the end of the 13th - beginning of the 14th с the Cathedral was rebuilt anew into a pagan temple. At that time Vilnius was a religious capital of all Baltic lands, with the spiritual centre in the Lower Castle. We can speak about the ruler s residency in the Lower Castle only since the 15th c, i, e. since the construction of the Gothic castle. Thus far it is difficult to say which ruler initiated and gave funds for this residency. Therefore it is thought that it was built after the fire of 1419. However, there is no ground to connect it with GD Vytautas, since no documents on this fact survived It is only known that Vytautas financed construction of the new Cathedral, most likely built on the occasion of his coronation. At the same time a new Gothic castle in the Trakai Island was built and its walls in the big hall were painted in frescos for the same purpose - coronation. It means that Vytautas intended to celebrate his coronation in Trakai, not in Vilnius, and accordingly cared less for the Vilnius Lower Castle. Judging by contemporaries records, Vytautas lived in the Upper Castle when he was staying in Vilnius. Much more credibly, the Gothic castle was built by GD Casimir who descended from the Upper Castle. His coinage occurred in the layer of wooden structures demolished through construction of the Gothic castle. Meanwhile the written sources do not speak about this either. The first duke mentioned in the documents as really residing in the Lower Castle was GD Alexander. His wife Elena built a big Gothic pavilion in the eastern wing of castle. Under Queen Bona s reign, this wing was Renaissance-styled, while the remaining structures of the castle most likely retained medieval traits even up to Sigismund August s times. At the end of the 15th - beginning of the 16th c, no hints of Renaissance styling were fixed in the VLC architecture. The Vilnius town plan included in the Album of World Towns confirms this. The interior underwent changes quicker than the exterior of castle. First of all, it should be said of the tile stoves - the accent of halls - which changed with dernier cry. Stoves decorated with armorial tiles reflect representation of castle in a sense of statehood and evidence that the grand duke resided there since mid-isth с Supposedly, various decorative elements of tiles of the same period and their plots 276 reflect the diffèrent purpose of this or that premise (halls, living-rooms etc.). Beside the already mentioned representative premises - throne hall and knights hall - there might have been other premises. Some of them were meant for revels and recreational activities (e.g. tiles with grotesque, allegories, hunting scenes), others for ascetic devotion (e.g. stoves on religious subjects, biblical plots) or dedicated to women and children (e.g. elves on flowers, toy horses, rosettes etc.). Water supply and sewerage, heating of halls by chic stoves undoubtedly speak about modernity and luxury of the Gothic castle. In the Middle Ages only extremely rich people could afford such costing equipment. The leap of civilization started from the ruler s court. Basing on architecture and immovable property, we can speak of the Vilnius castle as of the main administrative-political residency of the GDL ruler. Meanwhile the lack ofinformation does not allow us speaking about the court luxury from the archaeological standpoint, basing on movable property. There are several reasons for that: all castles and their courtyards used to be cleaned and supervised, so it was almost impossible to lose a treasure. The other reason, determined by the medieval lifestyle and polity, is the mobility of the ruler s courtThe Grand Duke of Lithuania didn t have his residency in Vilnius regularly, he used to take all his personal possessions with him while moving to the other castle. The third thing is that after changing the fashions, old possessions used to be changed by new ones, that was disastrous for a lot of art findings. Besides, the Lower castle suffered from fires many times: not only wooden buildings but a lot of stuff in them were destroyed by wars and domestic fires. As it is obvious from the examples of costume s decoration on view, on the territory of VLC different findings are found and they were made using various mechanisms of local and foreign masters who had come to the castle from foreign lands. Nevertheless, pre-gothic period is defined with more production of the Baltic style analogical with findings from the other places in Lithuania; there are more Slavonic than Western Europe decorations found there. In Gothic period the number of the last ones grew up significantly and European culture overcame Byzantine. In burial monuments and archeological materials from VLC European influence is quite strong and is mixed with Lithuanian outlook. It must be said that there are bells which were used to decorate nobility s wear; the sound of them was very attractive for people then; bells were not only 277 beaded into necklaces but stitched down the neckline with the beads. The other symbolic detail - brassy keys meant the most valuable both in Europe and Lithuania treasure - virginity. Not all findings from VLC could belong to the elite - a ruler and his family. It is typical for pre-Gothic period when the ruler used to live in the Upper castle. Even there, in the special apartments a lot of the court s officials lived , who had been of equal value to their suzerain neither by their wear nor by rooms furnishing. In this case we can discuss just about the scientific - informative archeological material of VLC. However some decorations and details of the Middle Ages made from gold and silver or bronze imitating the most popular metal then silver, consider their belonging to kings and after comparing these findings with historic documents and iconography, it is possible to speak about courts fashions. The 13th - 14th centuries are remarkable for peculiarities of local wear influenced by Slavs. For not having any iconographical material ofthat period, we shouldn t talk about the silhouette and cut of the costume but, without any doubt, it were long clothes and topcoats buttoned up with clasp- pins of Baltic style decorated by filigree. That costume could go with necldaces with precious gems and with silver bracelets. The example of it - decorations from Stakliškiq treasures made by local craftsmen which could be analogues to the ones found in the burial places and remarkable for sophisticated technique. The matrix for round brooches of the same type found there proves the fact that high level craftsmen could have lived on VLC. At the stake of 14th - 15th с fashions of the court of the Lithuanian ruler started to change. It was determined by the coming of Christianity and close relationship with the Western countries, especially with the Order situated in the neighbourhood. Clothes for women getting tighter and for men - shorter were in fashion then, however, the representatives of royal class stood out in the crowd not only because of their expensive silk, brocade or velvet clothes decorated by gems: their clothes still remained long that could be decided looking at rulers seals. Royal persons used to wear topcoats lined with rur of precious beasts, lapbelts decorated with silver gilded binding, big chains with expensive pendants; their wear was distinguished witli gala colors: red, yellow, black and were weft by silver and golden threads. Some details of personal decorations with heraldic symbols - images of a lion and a fleur-de-lis - of that period were found in VLC; that décor in 14th - 15th centuries in Europe was used only for royal attributives. 278 The masterpieces of medieval artists were created not for beauty but more for demonstrating and comfort: the noblemen made a parade not of fashionable clothes or subtle forms of decorations but plenty of heavy drapes, rings, brooches, mounts. We have to pay attention to the materials from cemeteries - plenty of shrouds showing the dependence of buried people to upper strata of society, not the tradition of burying with possessed stuff of the departed. Some luxurious things could be brought to the ruler s court as war plunder or by peaceful trade, however, most of them could have found a very typical for the Middle Ages way of migration of luxurious things - giving presents. The gifts - bloodstock, hunting kits, dogs and hawks, expensive armour, fashionable clothes, expensive drapery, oriental carpeting, decorations, exotic food - used to be mutual and given in accordance with rank. The most valuable ones were the most impractical: rare animals, impractical things and people - clowns and Lilliputians. Rulers abundantly rewarded their noblemen. It also was quite a popular way to crimp new supporters and to repay allies. Other things as quests and their treatment, patronage, unlimited waste of money in balls or in hunt, a lot of entertainment - are related to it. That empty waste of time in modern opinion is useless, however in the Middle Ages it used to be a part of the routine, a peculiar form of policy, diplomacy and government. Balls and entertainments proved by the remains of table setting and palinological ? data of VLC archeologically reflect the luxurious lifestyle of Lithuanian ruler s court. The high standard of cultural surroundings could be created just because of well-developed economics, in other words, such cultural phenomena as the library or the music chapel of international level in the court of the Lithuanian ruler was the luxury reachable just for elite. This splendid cultural life is reflected in the archeological material of VLC. There are metallic details of books and Jew s harps, which are found only in mounds in Lithuania as well as in other European countries. The remains of chess show intelligence and a unique possibility of purposeful leisure. Comparing findings and written sources we can say that manifestations of musical culture of medieval period and early renaissance were concentrated in Vilnius court of Lithuanian ruler. The remains of books found in the 15th с layer proved that books collections had been saved by very rich people at those times. Lithuanian knights were very well-educated as well as Lithuanian duchesses who were superior to women from lower castes and worthy of their husbands. 279 Luxury and wealth is concurrently related to aspects of cultural and entertainment life of a ruler. Their separation in this work is pretty conditional: at entertainments and revels always sounded music played by local and foreign professional musicians who were kept at the court for exchange and representation; civilized free time while reading was more like the passive revel listening to the reader; a peaceful play by chess could turn into a venturesome gambling transitive to quarrels of young knights anytime; balls, first of all, reflected the medieval table culture and etiquette related to knighthood culture of Europe including Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In GDL entertainments were of European character and the rich table setting, players chapels, exotic Lilliputians and clowns should be treated as the typical aspects of luxury in medieval courts. The existence of knighthood has been proved by written sources where several facts of accolade at Vytautas court are described as well as by archeological finding - spurs - a necessary attribute of a knight. In this and in many other cases we could talk about the role of the archeological data when showing the peculiarities of medieval lifestyle, typical for Lithuania as well as for other countries of Western Europe. Another one of luxury s immaterial forms is fixed in written sources and related to the ruler s coming to another city: the pompous entering of a ruler with big, shining and conspicuous with colors of flags and clothes escort; for citizens it was compulsory to meet the ruler with joy and to express their obedience. Lordliness and finding themselves as superior beings is the manifestation of spiritual luxury. Comparing the archeological research - from VLC and other Lithuanian mounds and late necropolis, aspects of lifestyle of Lithuanian courts described in historic documents and relationships with the other European courts and states, we can conclude that the Lithuanian court with its traditions was really close to them, equal and acceptable in the point of economic partnership and diplomatic friendship. Moreover, GDL at medieval times didn t look like a suppliant ofthat partnership and friendship but vice versa: from the end of the 14th с its rise is very well seen as well as the consumer, not the industrial character, what was typical just for very rich states. 280

In this case we can discuss just about the scientific - informative archeological material of VLC. However some decorations and details of the Middle Ages made from gold and silver or bronze imitating the most popular metal then silver, consider their belonging to kings and after comparing these findings with historic documents and iconography, it is possible to speak about courts fashions. The 13th - 14th centuries are remarkable for peculiarities of local wear influenced by Slavs. For not having any iconographical material ofthat period, we shouldn't talk about the silhouette and cut of the costume but, without any doubt, it were long clothes and topcoats buttoned up with clasp- pins of Baltic style decorated by filigree. That costume could go with necldaces with precious gems and with silver bracelets. The example of it - decorations from Stakliškiq treasures made by local craftsmen which could be analogues to the ones found in the burial places and remarkable for sophisticated technique. The matrix for round brooches of the same type found there proves the fact that high level craftsmen could have lived on VLC. At the stake of 14th - 15th с fashions of the court of the Lithuanian ruler started to change. It was determined by the coming of Christianity and close relationship with the Western countries, especially with the Order situated in the neighbourhood. Clothes for women getting tighter and for men - shorter were in fashion then, however, the representatives of royal class stood out in the crowd not only because of their expensive silk, brocade or velvet clothes decorated by gems: their clothes still remained long that could be decided looking at rulers' seals. Royal persons used to wear topcoats lined with rur of precious beasts, lapbelts decorated with silver gilded binding, big chains with expensive pendants; their wear was distinguished witli gala colors: red, yellow, black and were weft by silver and golden threads. Some details of personal decorations with heraldic symbols - images of a lion and a fleur-de-lis - of that period were found in VLC; that décor in 14th - 15th centuries in Europe was used only for royal attributives. 278 The masterpieces of medieval artists were created not for beauty but more for demonstrating and comfort: the noblemen made a parade not of fashionable clothes or subtle forms of decorations but plenty of heavy drapes, rings, brooches, mounts. We have to pay attention to the materials from cemeteries - plenty of shrouds showing the dependence of buried people to upper strata of society, not the tradition of burying with possessed stuff of the departed. Some luxurious things could be brought to the ruler's court as war plunder or by peaceful trade, however, most of them could have found a very typical for the Middle Ages way of migration of luxurious things - giving presents. The gifts - bloodstock, hunting kits, dogs and hawks, expensive armour, fashionable clothes, expensive drapery, oriental carpeting, decorations, exotic food - used to be mutual and given in accordance with rank. The most valuable ones were the most impractical: rare animals, impractical things and people - clowns and Lilliputians. Rulers abundantly rewarded their noblemen. It also was quite a popular way to crimp new supporters and to repay allies. Other things as quests and their treatment, patronage, unlimited waste of money in balls or in hunt, a lot of entertainment - are related to it. That empty waste of time in modern opinion is useless, however in the Middle Ages it used to be a part of the routine, a peculiar form of policy, diplomacy and government. Balls and entertainments proved by the remains of table setting and palinological ? data of VLC archeologically reflect the luxurious lifestyle of Lithuanian ruler's court. The high standard of cultural surroundings could be created just because of well-developed economics, in other words, such cultural phenomena as the library or the music chapel of international level in the court of the Lithuanian ruler was the luxury reachable just for elite. This splendid cultural life is reflected in the archeological material of VLC. There are metallic details of books and Jew's harps, which are found only in mounds in Lithuania as well as in other European countries. The remains of chess show intelligence and a unique possibility of purposeful leisure. Comparing findings and written sources we can say that manifestations of musical culture of medieval period and early renaissance were concentrated in Vilnius court of Lithuanian ruler. The remains of books found in the 15th с layer proved that books collections had been saved by very rich people at those times. Lithuanian knights were very well-educated as well as Lithuanian duchesses who were superior to women from lower castes and worthy of their husbands. 279 Luxury and wealth is concurrently related to aspects of cultural and entertainment life of a ruler. Their separation in this work is pretty conditional: at entertainments and revels always sounded music played by local and foreign professional musicians who were kept at the court for exchange and representation; civilized free time while reading was more like the passive revel listening to the reader; a peaceful play by chess could turn into a venturesome gambling transitive to quarrels of young knights anytime; balls, first of all, reflected the medieval table culture and etiquette related to knighthood culture of Europe including Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In GDL entertainments were of European character and the rich table setting, players chapels, exotic Lilliputians and clowns should be treated as the typical aspects of luxury in medieval courts. The existence of knighthood has been proved by written sources where several facts of accolade at Vytautas court are described as well as by archeological finding - spurs - a necessary attribute of a knight. In this and in many other cases we could talk about the role of the archeological data when showing the peculiarities of medieval lifestyle, typical for Lithuania as well as for other countries of Western Europe. Another one of luxury's immaterial forms is fixed in written sources and related to the ruler's coming to another city: the pompous entering of a ruler with big, shining and conspicuous with colors of flags and clothes escort; for citizens it was compulsory to meet the ruler with joy and to express their obedience. Lordliness and finding themselves as superior beings is the manifestation of spiritual luxury. Comparing the archeological research - from VLC and other Lithuanian mounds and late necropolis, aspects of lifestyle of Lithuanian courts described in historic documents and relationships with the other European courts and states, we can conclude that the Lithuanian court with its traditions was really close to them, equal and acceptable in the point of economic partnership and diplomatic friendship. Moreover, GDL at medieval times didn't look like a suppliant ofthat partnership and friendship but vice versa: from the end of the 14th с its rise is very well seen as well as the consumer, not the industrial character, what was typical just for very rich states. 280
