Prussia at its peak was huge.  However, I don't believe this country was a part of Prussia. I'll check though.

I suspect that you misunderstood one of my questions. When I asked about the Baltic countries, I meant Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Did he come from one of those?

Ref, I'm not sure which question you're referring to but you said Poland. I didn't see you mention anything about those 3 countries.

Maybe you didn’t see it. Anyway, Lithuania it is. A scientist?

I did see it and I said it has a coastline on the Baltic.  No, not a scientist.

Yes, but normally we mean those three countries when we talk about the Baltic countries or states, and I thought your answer ruled them out and that we were left with Poland and Germany. Never mind, was he born in 1800 or later?

Nope, before 1800. I was deliberately being obtuse, don't worry about it.

I guess you could call him royal in the same way Russian royalty can be called royalty.
If that makes sense?

If you mean was he a didysis kunigaikštis, then yes he was.
We are talking pre-Jagiellon though.

Lithuania only ever had one king, and if it was him it is Mindaugas.

It was not Mindaugas.
I said above the guy we're looking for was a Grand Duke as, as you say, there was only one king of Lithuania
However, this guy was called by the latin Rex, despite being a Grand Duke..
