Sigismund Kęstutaitis
But about a year later, Chodko supported Sigismund Kęstutaitis in his "coup d'état" against Švitrigaila. On 8 December 1432, Chodka fought in the Battle of Ashmyany alongside Švitrigaila and was taken prisoner. Most likely that was a different Chodka, who remained loyal to Švitrigaila until 1446. In February 1434, Chodko Jurewicz witnessed the renewal of the Union of Grodno by Sigismund Kęstutaitis and Jogaila. Of 41 seals affixed to the treaty, Chodko's Kościesza coat of arms was 9th. It is unclear how he obtained the Polish arms. According to the Union of Horodło, 47 Lithuanian nobles adopted Polish coats of arms. However, Eastern Orthodox nobles from Ruthenia were excluded. Chodko remained influential in domestic politics and along with voivodes of Trakai and Vilnius distributed "veldamai" (a class of dependent peasants) to other nobles. His name disappeared from written sources in 1447.
