Description

The Neumark, originally the part of Brandenburg east of the Oder river, had been mortgaged to the Teutonic Order by Emperor Sigismund in 1402. In the desperate financial, political and military situation caused by the uprising of the Prussian Lizard League and the intervention of Casimir of Poland in favour of the rebels, the Order decided it would be better to sell Neumark back to the Elector of Brandenburg in order to gain some money and his support than to loose the territory to the Polish King who was obviously attracted by the opportunity to restore the Oder as border with Germany. Thus on February 22nd emissaries of the Order offered the territory to Friedrich II for 40000 Gulden. The elector accepted gladly and on April 5th took the oaths of allegiance from the estates of Neumark in Neu-Landsberg.

Description

The Medieval province of Danzig belonged to Poland on similar terms as the Marches belonged to HRE. In 1309, the Teutonic Order, feigning that it wanted to help against Brandenburgians who sieged the city, grabbed the land. Poland never recognized this fact. Both countries found themselves in continuous warfare which culminated in the Battle of Grunwald. The defeated Teutonic Order never regained its position. The population of Danzig was about 90 percent Polish. About 5 percent were Dutch who started to migrate to the delta of Vistula in the 16th century. The cities of Danzig, Thorn, and others were mainly settled by Germans who were definitely more interested in trade than in politics. The Teutonic Order had problems with Danzig, since the political aims of the Order were in contradiction to the policy of the city and province. Had the Teutonic Order encouraged more rustic people from Germany to settle in Danzig, then it may have been easier to rule.

Description

On the 21st of frebuary 1440 the Prussian Federation was formed by 19 prussian cities, Danzig and Thorn amongst others, and a part of the gentry and clergy of Kulmland.

The foundation of the confederation was met with indifference by the grand master.

Description

When the Teutonic Knights arrived in Kulmerland, they built a castle (1230-31) here. The settlement acquired town rights in 1233 and was relocated in 1236 from its original site to Altstadt. The town soon became an important medieval trade center. In 1264 the neighboring Thorner Neustadt was founded and in 1454 the old and new cities were amalgamated. During the 14th century, the city joined the mercantile Hanseatic League. However, in at the middle of the 15th century Thorn started to lose its trade positions in the competition with Danzig.

Action A of 398000 - The Hussite Wars for Romanists
Action A of 401000 - The Hussite Wars for Hussites

Description

The Czech priest and professor Jan Hus developed radical reformatory demands on the base of the teachings of John Wyclif. Despite a guarantee of safe-conduct by Emperor Sigismund, he was executed at the stake for heresy at the Council of Constance in 1415. This could however not stop the Hussite movement in Bohemia. Hus' followers were rapidly growing, and when King Vaclav IV of Bohemia died and his brother Sigismund, already Emperor and King of Hungary was to succeed him, they, unwilling to forgive him the betrayal of Hus and afraid that he would suppress them, refused to acknowledge him and gained control of most of Bohemia proper - while the lands of the Bohemian crown and the catholic part of Bohemia accepted Sigismund. Due to its radical anti-clerical and anti-feudal tendencies Hussitism posed a big threat to the church and nobility in the countries adjacent to Bohemia. Several German and European princes therefore decided to oppose the Hussites and to support Sigismund in his struggle with them that lasted for almost two decades. Should we decide to fight these heretics, we should be aware that this would be internationally regarded as an intervention in favour of Sigismund as rightful King of Bohemia rather than a war of conquest, and that therefore, if Sigismund prevails and manages to restore royal authority, we would be expected to turn over any conquests in Bohemia to the Kingdom of Bohemia.

Action A of 210029 - The Treaty of Melno for Lithuania

Description

The endless struggle between Lithuania and the Teutonic Order continued for about two centuries when on July 15, 1410 at the Battle of Grunwald (Tannenberg) the united Polish-Lithuanian army crushed the Teutonic knights. Since then the power of the Order was constantly declining. 1 February 1411 the Peace of Torun, as one of the gains of this great victory, was ratified. Lithuania received the formal control over Samogitia and the Order relinquished its claims until the death of King Jagiello and Grand Duke Vytautas. However, Vytautas did not leave his attempts to achieve full sovereign rights over Samogitia, and in early 1420s started active diplomatic correspondence with Emperor Sigismund and other European monarchs to prove his claims on the Duchy of Samogitia. Soon the new phase of negotiations started and resulted in the Treaty of Melno signed on September 27, 1422. The Teutonic Order recognized the sovereign rights of the Lithuanian Crown on Samogitia, while Lithuania renounced its claims on Memel (Klaipeda) and all territories of the Neman River mouth (Lithuanian Minor). Lithuania also received the port of Palanga and a narrow strip of land, separating the Teutonic and Livonian orders.
