Warrior (d. 1333/1334) - Prince of Polotsk . According to Wolf, he was Budivid's third son, the brother of Gediminas and Viteni [1] . It was first mentioned in 1324 [2] as Prince of Polotsk - in 1326, when he, together with Prince of Minsk Vasily and Prince Fedor Svyatoslavovich, participated in the embassy of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Gedimin in Novgorod to conclude a peace treaty with the Novgorodians and Livonian knights. More sources are not mentioned. Given the known facts of the campaigns of the Livonian knights on Polotsk in 1333 and 1334, it can be assumed that the Warrior was killed during one of them. In 1338, Narimont Gediminovich was named Prince of Polotsk. The sources also mention the son of the Warrior Lubka, who was killed in 1342 in a battle with the Livonian knights [2] .
