Conrad von Thierberg the Younger, named Provincial …

Years: 1283 - 1283

Conrad von Thierberg the Younger, named Provincial Master of Prussia in 1283, leads a large army into Sudovia, finding little resistance.

The Knight Ludwig von Liebenzell, who had once been a captive of the Sudovians, negotiates the surrender of sixteen hundred Sudovians and their leader Katingerde, who will subsequently be resettled in Samland.

Most of the remaining Sudovians are redistributed to Pogesania and Samland; Skalmantas, who is pardoned and baptized in the Roman Catholic rite, acknowledges the superiority of the Knights; he is allowed to settle at Balga.

Sudovia is left depopulated to become a border wilderness that protects Prussia, Masovia, and Volhynia from the Lithuanians.
