He started his rule when the Livonian Order and the Teutonic Knights were finalizing their conquest of the Baltic tribes.[1] In 1289, leading about 8,000 troops, Butigeidis attacked Sambia.[1] In 1289 the Teutonic Knights built a castle in Tilsit and their raids intensified. Lithuanians were forced to abandon Kolainių Castle located on the other bank of the Neman River.[1] Butigeidis was the first to build strong castles along the Neman River.[1] The castle system was further developed after his death and helped to resist the raids until the second half of the 14th century.[1]
Butigeidis transferred Vaŭkavysk to Galicia-Volhynia in exchange for peace.[1] He died in 1290 or 1292, and his brother Butvydas (also known as Pukuveras) inherited the crown.[1]
