2. 1285Riga · RigaCentered on Riga, the Order expanded its fortress network along the Daugava River and coastal routes, controlling trade corridors and exerting military pressure on the Lithuanian frontier; the system of the Livonian bishoprics rivaling the Order further crystallized during this period.
