Lithuania ceased to be completely independent and became officially Catholic. After the demise of the Jagiellon dynasty in 1572 and the Union of Lublin in 1569 Lithuania was left with only limited autonomy within the Polish Commonwealth, having ceded most of its Ukrainian lands to Poland and accepted the Polish crown and a common parliament) |
