| Abstract [eng] |
Sources on our most ancient history are scattered historians neighbouring countries one and the same things name different names. Briefly written down facts can on a miscellaneous speaks and sometimes records contradict the friend another a lot of mess in history of balts tribes have brought the jatviagians B the name in Russian and Polish chronicles is mentioned describing military campaigns of princes in this countries aspiring to enslave jatviagians, to force them to pay, to make their submitted. From the beginning of XIX century to historians and researchers of historical geography who again was necessary to find out these jatviagians where they lived. Linguists have established that jatviagians were group of the Baltic tribes, that their language is close to Prussian language. Therefore they belong to western balts. But admits, that their language родственнен to the Lithuanian language Only after there were works of historians, St.Zajaczkowskio, A. Kaminskio, V. Pasutos archeologists E.Antoniewicziaus, J.Jaskanio, M.Kaczynskio, J.Okulicziaus, V.Sedovo linguists K.BugosV.Maziulio, J.Nalepos and others, it was accepted jatviagians to divide into 4 groups:jotvingiai, dainaviai, polekėnai and sūduviai.. In the work I have shown a cut societies jatviagians, their attitudes with neighbours Lithuanians, Russian, Poles and crusaders The chosen period XIII very narrow in historical scale. Its choice was defined with quantity of written sources. Also the important place in my work is borrowed jatviagians with territory, scientific dispute between A. Tautaviciaus and V.Sedovo. Other purpose which I put before myself, it is the further jatviagians destiny Though chronicles consider 1383 the end of their history, but it raises the doubts. Where they send away. Why some chronicles mention them till XVI century. On such questions I searched for answers. |
