Duke Margiris defending Pilėnai against the Teutonic Order by Władysław Majeranowski (1817–1874) Not able to defend the fortress against the Teutonic Order, Margiris and other defenders decided to commit a mass suicide, burning the castle and leaving no loot for the enemy.This episode from the Lithuanian Crusade was popularized during the 19th-century wave of romantic nationalism and Margiris is treated as a national hero in Lithuania.

Today in 1336 in Lithuania, the fortress of Pilėnai was besieged by Teutonic knights. The fortress was defended bravely by Duke Margiris and 4000 men. When defeat was imminent, rather than be taken prisoner and let the fortress fall into enemy hands, the inhabitants of the castle set their belongings and the fortress on fire and committed mass suicide. Vytautas Klova’s opera “Pilenai” (with libretto by Jonas Mackonis) premiered in 1956 and quickly became the most popular Lithuanian opera ever. This version of "Ūdrio arija" (or "Udrys's Aria"), one of the opera's most popular songs, was recorded by Ramūnas Urbietis in 2008.

Pilenai

perchè purtroppo quella notte  senza altri giri di parole  hai detto delle cose che mi hanno veramente disgustato  non riesco a passarci sopra  se solo questi otto minuti di luce  fossero solamente otto minuti di luce
