==Overview== 16th century Lithuanian Chronicles relate that Giedrius (Palemonids), a brother of Grand Duke Traidenis of Lithuania (died 1282), built a castle, named it Giedraičiai (Giedroyty), and adopted the title Prince of Giedraičiai (kniaz Giedryotski). Many other Lithuanian families considered Giedrius as their ancestor, among them Ginwił, Jamontowicz and Giedroyć-Juraha. Their original name Kgedrojt or Kgedrotiski was later polonised to Gedrojc, Giedrojć and Giedroyć.
