Milegast
Milegast was a velvet ruler of the Wilzen until 823.
He was a son of Liub, probably a leader of the Wilzen. He was elected velvet ruler by the Wilzen ( "populus Wilzorum" ) and deposed again in 823. He was succeeded by his brother Cealadragus , who appeared at King Ludwig the Pious that year to have the election confirmed. Further information about his person is not known.
