Livonia

Livonia was during the Middle age a territory that comprised the modern states of Estonia and Latvia. It was conquered in the 13th century by German crusaders who created a loose confederation of petty states. The most important of these was the state ruled by the Sword Brethren and later the Livonian Order, the regents of the other states are located in this page. Under the pressure from Russia in the 16th century the Livonian confederation collapsed and was divided between its neighbours. Livonia was thereafter the name of a smaller province, which was Swedish 1629-1721 and Russian 1721-1918. The province of Livonia was then divided between the new states of Estonia and Latvia after the First World War.

During the Livonian war (1558-1583) the Danish prince Magnus of Holstein had himself proclaimed king of Livonia as a Russian vassal 1570. He had before that bought the prince bishoprics of Ösel-Wieck and Courland but when he died 1583 had all of his territories been lost to the neighbouring countries.
