Herkus Monte

Having lived there for about ten years, and having studied at the monastery school of St. Johannes der Täufer auf dem Berge, Herkus became well-educated.

On his way back to Natangia, Herkus and his men were confronted by a contingent of their enemies; in the ensuing Battle of Löbau, a Master and a Marshal, together with 40 knights and a number of other soldiers, were killed.

[1] After Lithuania regained independence, Giedrius Kuprevičius returned to Grušas's drama play about Herkus Mantus, this time writing an opera based on it and calling it The Prussians.

He is also mentioned in the song Tagad vai nekad (Now or Never) of the same album as one of the leaders who fought the Teutonic Order during the Great Prussian Uprising.

[3] Furthermore, Herkus Monte has been featured in the videogame Ancestors Legacy as the protagonist of one of the game's campaigns, History of the Teutonic Order.
