 | | First accepted in Austria by Andrew II of the Magyars, the Order was given a district in Burzenland, Transylvania, though this was later recanted when the Order sought to have direct relation with the Holy See and not through the Kingdom of Hungary. |
 | | This proved somewhat fortuitous for the Order, as they were freed to renew their conquest under direction of Konrad I Mazowiecki, Prince of Culmland (Central Veneda) when his homeland was attacked by the Prussians, a pagan Baltic people. |
 | | This led the Order to rule a large tract of the Eastern Baltic, though this power had eroded by the end of the middle ages. |
