  Konrad I of Masovia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Konrad of Masovia (1187 - 1247, Polish: Konrad Mazowiecki) was Duke of Masovia, son of Casimir II of Poland ("the Just") and Helen, princess of Moravia.
Konrad tried unsuccessfully to defeat the pagan Prussians on the borders of his lands.
Konrad is often regarded poorly because his actions began the process whereby the Teutonic Knights came to control much of the Baltic coastline through their monastic state.

The Tatars scored a victory in the battle of Legnica, where they were fought by the Polish and German knights, but were stopped from penetrating farther.

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.

[5] So infamous is this name among Poles still today that in the 1990 presidential elections in Poland, one of the candidates – a Tadeusz Mazowiecki – found his competitors asking voters if this Mazowiecki would also invite foreigners and Germans into the country as a Trojan horse.
