Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas fled from the battle, and we continue to see the head of the principality until 1430. His younger brother Sigismund fled too – he was Grand Duke in 1432 – 1440 years.

Among the rescued J. Posilge named , the provincial commander of Ragneta. He is known in the sources from 1384 to 1410 years. and during the campaign he was a friend and advisor to Vytautas.

Khan Temir Kutlug survived in the battle too.
