The Treaty of Christmemel (Lithuanian: Skirsnemun s sutartis) was a treaty signed on June 16, 1431 between Paul von Rusdorf, Grand Master the Teutonic Knights, and vitrigaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania. The treaty established anti-Polish alliance and prompted the Knights to invade the Kingdom of Poland, starting the Polish-Teutonic War (1431-1435). Lithuania also surrendered Palanga and three miles of the coastline on the Baltic Sea, thus modifying the Treaty of Melno of 1422.Grand Duke Vytautas died in 1430 leaving no heir to rule the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. According to the terms of the Union of Horod o of 1413, the Lithuanian nobility pledged not to elect a new Grand Duke without the approval of the Kingdom of Poland. Nevertheless, the Lithuanian nobles unilaterally elected vitrigaila, brother of King of Poland Jogaila, as their Grand Duke. vitrigaila refused to acknowledge fealty to his brother and a civil war broke out in Lithuania. The Teutonic Knights were a natural ally of vitrigaila as they wanted to undo the Polish-Lithuanian union, established in 1385, which led to their defeat in the Battle of Grunwald of 1410.
