| Abstract [eng] |
This article deals with the development of Samogitia 's relationship with Lithuania since the middle of the 13th century to the end of the 18th century. In the course of this period Samogitia experienced different patterns of relationship towards Lithuania: hostile western cultural pressure in the Middle ages; legitimate agreement on the part of Samogitians with Lithuanian monarchy which provided for the auto- nomy of Samogitia in 15-16 c.; the merge of Samo-gitian nobles with the nobility of Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the end of 16 c. to 18 c. The latter merge meant the decline of the power of regional ruling elite, having blocked the way to form a separate Samo-gitian political identity. All this hindered the rise of more forceful regional trends of separatism. |
