Daumantas or Dovmont (died 1285) was Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1282 to 1285.[1][2] Daumantas is mentioned in chronicles only once and, in absence of any other evidence, is presumed to be a short-ruled Grand Duke who inherited the title after Traidenis' death in 1281 or 1282.[3] It is assumed that Daumantas was succeeded by Grand Duke Butigeidis. The relationships between Traidenis, Daumantas, and Butegeidis are unknown.
