	Pogesania Information
		German poets came up with their own etymology for the land.
		In Prussian mythology, each of the ten original lands of Prussia is named after one of the sons of King Widewuto; but only a few of the sons' names are actually given.
		Thus, the Germans created a folk etymology for the land (in German commonly called Hockerland) traced to a King Hoggo.

	Peter P. Pachl über die Namensbedeutungen zu Siegfried Wagners op. 9, »Der Heidenkönig«
		Die Namen Waidewut und Krodo übernimmt Siegfried Wagner aus Sagen, die insbesondere Ludwig Bechstein aufgezeichnet hat.
		Kapitel von Bechsteins Deutschem Sagenbuch trägt die Überschrift »König Widewuto opfert sich selbst«.
		Und als der König diese Worte gesprochen, stürzte er sich mutvoll in die lodernde Flammenlohe, und das Volk warf seine Fackeln über ihn und erhob das Geschrei der Klage und den Gesang der Schlacht, und die Krieger schlugen dreimal auf ihre Schilde, dass sie dröhnten.« (Bechstein: Deutsches Sagenbuch.

		Das Ermland war die größte der preußischen Diözesen und reichte im Norden bis an den Pregel, im Süden bis zum Omulef-Fluß und vom Frischen Haff bis an die Litauische Grenze.
		Der Name Ermland“ geht zurück auf Ermia, Gattin von Warmio, des neunten Sohnes von König Widewuto, und dieser Warmio ist der Namensgeber für den prußischen Gau Warmien und das heutige polnische Warmia.
		Nachdem der zunächst ausersehene Ordensbruder Heinrich von Strittberg verzichtet hatte, der statt dessen 1254 den Bischofsstuhl des Samlands einnahm, wurde Anselmus, aus einem Land der Krone Böhmens und vielleicht aus Schlesien stammend, 1250 zum ersten Bischof des Ermlands ernannt und geweiht.
