==Legends==
According to the legend, Widewuto and Bruteno were kings of the [[Cimbri]], a tribe in [[Jutland]].<ref name=beres/> Driven out by the [[Goths]] from their homeland, the Cimbri arrived to Ulmiganea, an area inhabited by rather primitive people who had no agriculture or cities.<ref name=mle2/> Widewuto and Bruteno civilized the region and named it [[Prussia (region)|Prussia]] after Bruteno (Pruteno). [[Gintaras Beresnevičius]] noted that such arrival has a lot in common with the origin legend of the [[Lombards]].<ref name=beres/> Widewuto ruled wisely and issued laws regulating family life (for example, men could have three wives; burning of gravely sick relatives was allowed; infidelity was punished by death), public life (for example, slavery was prohibited; distinguished warriors with a horse were raised to nobility), and punishments for criminal activity.<ref name=mle/> Bruteno was the high priest (''[[Kriwe-Kriwajto]]'') in charge of religious life. Widewuto had twelve sons, whose names were memorialized in the districts of Prussia. For example, [[Lithuania]] was named after eldest son Litvas, [[Yotvingia|Sudovia]] after Sudo, etc. Aged 116, Widewuto [[self-immolation|burned himself]] together with Bruteno in a religious ceremony at the [[Romuva (temple)|temple of Romuva]]. After their deaths the brothers were worshiped as god Wurskaito.<ref name=mle/>
