	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.

		At various Mazovia was an independent or autonomous duchy and it retained a degree of autonomy from Poland proper until the end of the Middle Ages.
		The earliest overlord of the area was one Wlodzimierz of Romany, who in 1424 was given an endowment of 30 wloks of land (about 900 acres) in the surrounding area.
		Mazovia as a whole was very poor, due to its poor-quality farm land, backward Russian policies, and the wars that had so frequently plagued the region.

		Konrad, Duke of Mazovia, was his ward for a long time, and Krystyn administered his lands; when Konrad came of age to rule and Krystyn handed his lands over to him, he not only had not lost any of Konrad's territory - he had even expanded its borders.
		But others envious of Krystyn turned him over to Konrad under suspicion of having harmed the land; he was imprisoned, his eyes were put out, and later even his life was taken, amid much agony, in 1221.

		It is true that Janos Hunyadi and his son Matthias I Corvinus, King of Hungary, as well as Janos, illegitimate offspring of the latter, called themselves "Corvinus" and had their coins minted displaying a raven with a ring.
		However, as we know from a grant of privilege of Prince Konrad of Mazovia at Warsaw in 1224, I am sure that the family of Korwins are more ancient in Poland than Hunyadi and his son Matthias, as the latter did not flourish until 1400.
		In addition the Silesian Annals state that when a raven carried off the ring King Matthias had removed from his finger, Matthias chased the bird down and slew him, retrieving the ring, and in commemoration of this event he took the raven as a symbol for his signet sign.

		Duke of Vladimir and his court had external political interests (besides Lithuania), mainly in Mazovia (Mazowsze) maintaining strong union with Mazovian dukes.
		He sent his trusted Fransiscan Henrich to the Polish dukes, who was entrusted to establish connection with Rus' court since Henrich (through his grandfather Konrad of mazovia) had a family connection to Rus' dukes and hoped for success of his mission.
