Confusion here - consecration is an action. Did the pope (and get a name - it's easy. Then link it to the biography) confirm an election, an imperial nomination, or what? None of those three can be called 'consecrate', by the way.
- A Teutonic Knight named Christian was consecrated by the pope as first bishop of Lithuania. The archbishop Albert of Riga undertook the consecration.
I'm not sure the first bishop is entirely relevant here anyway, but I'll leave it for now if the question is straightened out.
revised:
- The Baltic tribes had held on to their own religion for a long time and continued to do so for a longer period.
I'm quite sure they had been non-Christians longer than they remained non-Christians after this date, since they had never yet been Christians.
spaces before punctuation:
- grand duke of Lithuania in 1316 , did restoration
- kings of Poland , their titles
- should be:
- grand duke of Lithuania in 1316, did restoration
- kings of Poland, their titles
