Lead Section

 * Very short lead section, could use summary of article's key points

 * How did he eliminate all thieves in his land and is this really a fact? Once again, it needs a source.

 * There is a random sentence in the biography about a battle with the Lithuanians that seems out of place.

Notes and Sources

 * The cited references are located in the Notes section. The sources listed under the heading "Sources" are not cited in the article.
