Union of KÄ—dainiai
Union of Kėdainiai (or Agreement of Kėdainiai, Lithuanian Kėdainių unija or Kėdainių sutartis; Polish Umowa Kiejdańska) was a controversial agreement between several of the Commonwealth magnates and the king of Sweden, signed in 1655 during The Deluge. Its purpose was to end the Polish-Lithuanian Union and carve up two separate principalities of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to be ruled by the Radziwiłł (Radvila) family, while the rest of the Duchy was to become a Swedish protectorate.
