In 1522 became a chancellor of Lithuania. He was buried in Vilnius Cathedral, where his tomb remains till present day.
Goštautas was a supporter of the Lithuanian language in state affairs and had a nationalistic attitude: he seceded Lithuanian and Polish speaking Franciscans, took care of the representatives of the Lithuanian literature, as Abraomas Kulvietis, and had shown distrust to Ruthenian inhabitants of the Grand Duchy. He was one of the initiators of the Statutes of Lithuania.
