Was a medieval Crusader state, located in Central Europe along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea. It was formed by the Knights of the Teutonic Order during the 13th century Northern Crusades in the region of Prussia. The Livonian Brothers of the Sword merged in 1237 with the Teutonic Order of Prussia and became known as its branch, the Livonian Order, while their state (Terra Mariana) became a part of the Teutonic Order State. The Prussian territories of the order were inglobated into Poland in 1466, but the state continued to exist as a small independent polity through its scattered possessions in the Holy Roman Empire.
