Rimgailà(also Rymgajla, Rimgaila, Ringaila, , ; c. 1367 â 1423 or 1430) was a Lithuanian princess of the House of KÃÂstutis. Daughter of the Grand Duke of Lithuania KÃÂstutis and Grand Duchess BirutÃÂ, sister of Grand Dukes Vytautas the Great and à ½ygimantas KÃÂstutaitis, Dukes Butautas and Tautvila, and Masovian Duchess Danutàof Lithuania. Baptismal name Ona.
RimgailÃÂ (feminine) or Rimgailas (masculine) is a typical dual-stemmed pagan Lithuanian name constructed from rim- (rimti - "be calm") + gail- (*gailas - "strong"), which is quite common in Lithuania at present.
By marriage with Henry of Masovia, she was Princess of Masovia for about one year, until the death of her husband (winter of 1392–1393). Jan DÃ Âugosz wrote in his chronicles that to marry her Henry resigned from the title of Bishop of PÃ Âock. Henry's death was allegedly due to poison, with RimgailÃÂ as one of the potential suspects.
Her second marriage (1419âÂÂ1421) was with Alexander the Good, Voivode of Moldavia (1400–1432). Upon their politically motivated divorce she was given the customs of the town of Siret and 40 villages. Also, as part of the divorce settlement Alexander the Good promised to pay her lifetime income worth 600 Hungarian gold ducats or florins payable in two installments.
