Possessing by nature a remarkable mind, Glinsky learned a lot during the summer stay abroad. He served in the army of Albrecht Saxon, with Maximilian I in Italy, where he accepted Catholicism, was in Spain; I learned to speak in the main European languages. Returning to Lithuania, he liked King Alexander, who constantly turned to him for advice. In G., Alexander made him a marshal of his yard, and when he went to Krakow for coronation, Glinsky accompanied him as an ambassador from Lithuania.

The enormous wealth of Glinsky helped him acquire supporters and friends, mainly, however, from the environment of Russian boyars. Lithuanian Know was very afraid that Glinsky, by the death of the childless Alexander, could seize power into his own hands, transfer the capital to Rus' and rely on this latter. When the king was dangerously ill, many suspected that, in a strike with Dr.

Balinsky, Glinsky wanted to poison the king, and this suspicion intensified even more when the prince freed the doctor arrested by the Chancellor and gave him the opportunity to run to Krakow. Glinsky’s victories over the Tatars only strengthened the envy and hatred of him. Soon the king died. Pano opposed the departure of his body for burial in Krakow, fearing that in their absence, Glinsky could easily master the vilny.

Meanwhile, Korolevich Sigismund arrived in the Lithuanian capital. The enemies of Glinsky, especially the cryzhezinsky, achieved that Glinsky was forbidden free entrance to the chambers of the sovereign. Glinsky demanded a trial with his opponents, but the king behaved in this matter sluggishly and indecisively; Glinsky turned to the mediation of the Hungarian king Vladislav, but in vain.

Then Glinsky, together with the brothers Ivan and Vasily, left for his Turov, called up servants and friends and appointed the king the term to which he should be given a court. The Grand Duke of Moscow took the opportunity and offered all Glinsky defense, mercy and salary. Sigismund’s attempt to return Glinsky to Lithuania did not take place, and Glinsky entered into a formal agreement with Moscow.

At the beginning of G. Glinsky openly raised the banner of the rebellion. With his brother Vasily, he put on Minsk, but, not being able to take him, went to Kletsk. Here the brothers were divided: Vasily went to the Kyiv suburbs to raise the Russians, and Mikhail devastated the Slutsk and Kopyl volosts and took the Mozyr. Upon coming to his aid from Grand Duke Evstafia Dashkevich, from 20 thousand, Moscow governors approached Glinsky on Berezina, together with him Minsk was besieged and sent detachments to Vilna itself; Others fought the Smolensk region, others approached Bobruisk.

Soon the Grand Duke sent new regiments to Orsha; But the king arrived with the troops forced them to take off the siege and retreat. Glinsky went to Moscow, where he was accepted very graciously. But soon the world was concluded between Sigismund and Vasily, which put the Glinsky in the position of exile. They lost their possessions in Lithuania and left with their supporters to Moscow.

Mikhail Glinsky was given two cities: Yaroslavets and Borovsk. The king several times asked Vasily to give him Glinsky, promising to forgive them the past. The Grand Duke replied that the Glinsky passed to him during the war and thus became his subjects, and he did not give out his subjects to anyone. When a war broke out between Moscow and Lithuania again, Glinsky sent his confidant, German Schleitsa, to Silesia, the Czech Republic and Germany to hire equestrian warriors and knechts who moved to Moscow through Livonia.

The sovereign himself led the army; Glinsky was one of the governor of the large regiment. Smolensk was taken and Vasily entered there on August 1 G. Glinsky hoped to receive this city from the Grand Duke; But Vasily, according to Herberstein, laughed at the excessive ambition of Glinsky. Then the latter conceived a betrayal; He began to demolish with the king, who assured him in his mercy.

According to preliminary persuasion, the Lithuanian army went to the Dnieper; When it was already not far from Orsha, Glinsky fled to him at night; But one of his servants informed the Russian governor who captured Glinsky and sent to the Grand Duke. Glinsky did not lock himself in treason: he found the Sigismunds of letters. Preparing for death, Glinsky boldly spoke of his services and Vasily's ingratitude.
