In 1380, Jogaila signed the secret Treaty of Dovydi k s with the Teutonic Knights against K stutis. This sparked a civil war. K stutis and his son Vytautas was captured and held prisoners in Kreva castle. In 1382 K stutis died under suspicious circumstances, while Vytautas managed to escape and sought allies among the Teutonic Knights. Around the same time Jogaila banished Tautvilas from Navahrudak that he and his brother Vaidotas were ruling. Tautvilas then joined the fight of his brother Vytautas. While visiting the Teutonic Knights, he was baptized as Kondrat on October 21, 1383. In 1384 Vytautas and Jogaila reconciled and the civil war ended. When Jogaila signed the Union of Krewo and became the King of Poland , he left his unpopular brother Skirgaila as a regent in Lithuania. Vytautas saw this as an opportunity to gain power and started the Lithuanian Civil War 1389 1392 . His first military campaign against Vilnius was not successful and had to turn to the Teutonic Knights for the second time. Tautvilas joined him again. Joint forces of Vytautas and the Knights attacked Vilnius in September 1390.

In 1236 he probably led Samogitian forces in the Battle of Saule against the Livonian Order . The order suffered a great defeat, was on the brink of collapse, and was forced to become a branch of the Teutonic Knights . In 1248 Mindaugas sent him together with Tautvilas and Edivydas to a military campaign in Smolensk . When they failed Mindaugas tried to capture their estates. The three men organized a vast coalition against Mindauges which included Tautvilas brother in law Daniel of Halych , Livonian Order, and Samogitians. The dukes of Halych Volhynia managed to gain control over Black Ruthenia , an area ruled by Vai vilkas . In 1250, the Livonian Order organized two major raids, one against Nal a land and the other against the domains of Mindaugas and those parts of Samogitia that still supported him. However, Mindaugas succeeded in bribing Andreas von Stierland , the master of the order, who was still angry at Vykintas for the defeat in 1236. Mindaugas was to be baptised and crowned as King of Lithuania. In return he agreed to relinquish control over some lands in the western Lithuania. In 1252, Tautvilas and his remaining allies attacked Mindaugas in Voruta , sometimes considered to be the first capital of Lithuania . The attack failed and Tautvilas forces retreated to defend themselves in Tverai castle, in the present day Rietavas municipality . Vykintas died ca. 1253 and Tautvilas escaped to his brother in law to Halych Volhynia. In 1253 Mindaugas was crowned as promised. Vykintas sister was married to Dausprungas , Mindaugas brother.

Dausprungas also Dovsprunk , died after 1219 was older brother of Mindaugas , the first King of Lithuania .

Since Dausprungas is the only known brother of Mindaugas, Mindaugas nephews Edivydas and Tautvilas are presumed to be his sons. If that is true, then Dausprungas is father in law of Daniel of Halych and he was also married to Vykintas sister. Because it is known that Mindaugas used to kill his relatives to gain power and because Dausprungas is not mentioned in any other sources, some imply that he was killed by Mindaugas, but others rebut since his sons still ruled their lands in 1248.
