Livonian Order

Timeline

1. 1343Estonia · EstoniaOn April 23, 1343 (St. George's Day), Estonian and Livonian locals rose in revolt simultaneously in Danish-ruled areas and Order territories, attacking German and Danish officials and churches. The uprising quickly spread to Tallinn, Tartu, and elsewhere, threatening the Order's rule on the eastern Baltic coast.
2. 1343–1345Tartu · EstoniaThe Livonian Order brutally suppressed the uprising with reinforcements from the Teutonic Order, restoring control over southern Estonia and Livonia before 1345. Uprising leaders were executed, and the local population was forced to resume paying Order taxes and labor obligations.
3. 1346Tallinn · EstoniaIn 1346 King Valdemar IV of Denmark sold northern Estonia (including Tallinn) to the Livonian Order, completing the territorial transfer stipulated by the 1343 treaty. The Order thereby gained unified control over most of Estonia, further consolidating its military-commercial hegemony on the eastern Baltic coast.
