The Kingdom of Livonia was a nominal state in what is now the territory of Estonia and Latvia. The Russian Tsar Ivan IV declared the establishment of the kingdom during the Livonian War of 1558–1583, but it never functioned properly as a polity.

Many families in the Polish-Lithuanian, Ruthenian and Russian aristocracy belong to the House of Gediminid. Examples of this are the aforementioned Galitzines and the Kurakins, Czartoryskis, Trubetskoys, Sanguszkos ...
