Vilnius In Your Pocket - Grand Duke Mindaugas

http://www.inyourpocket.com
Vilnius In Your Pocket editor Andrew Quested on the story of Mindaugas II, who almost became Lithuania's second king.
On July 6, 2003, the holiday of the Crowning of Grand Duke Mindaugas, a sculpture (by R.Midvikis) and a bridge were unveiled both bearing the name of Mindaugas. The sculpture on Arsenalo 1, in front of the National Museum, sort of faces the bridge that spans the Neris River, a not very attractive piece of gridiron but necessary to stem the ever-growing tide of traffic. The sculpture made of granite is fairly stylised and is perched on sloping slabs of polished stone which have become a new playground slide for kids and In Your Pocket editors. So much for respecting the one and only King of Lithuania.

Mindaugas was a KING, not a Grand Duke, and the guy in the video is mentioning it. So why have you put the word "Duke" on video's title and the tags? Please be more accurate
