Livonia

Historic region along the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea

Livonia, known in earlier records as Livland, is a historical region on the present-day land of Latvia and Estonia. It is named after the historical Livonians, who lived on the shores of present-day Latvia. By the end of the 13th century, the name was extended to most of present-day Estonia and Latvia, which the Livonian Brothers of the Sword had conquered during the Livonian Crusade (1193–1290).
