Lettish Rodui

Lettish Rodui
The Rodui are the main families or clans of Lettgallia. During the unification of the Letts under Boleslav, the major tribal land holders were incorporated as a ruling elite, and gained seats in the Seim, one for each Rod. The Rodui individually may levy duties and taxes upon lands they own, though not customs fees, and may maintain their own castles. The Rodui are also required to provide troops in times of war, depending on the size of their territory. There are some 137 Rodui with seats in the Sejm, with most Rodui being too small to qualify for a seat under the rule of admission. These 137 will not all be listed here, naturally, however, some of the leading ones with their current heads are mentioned below:
