Revision as of 09:50, 6 April 2006
Konrad I of Masovia (Template:Lang-pl; 1187? – 1247), son of Kazimierz II the Just and Helen, Princess of Moravia, was the 6th Duke of Masovia.
After his father's death in 1194, Konrad was brought up by his mother. In 1202 he received Masovia and Kuyavia. The Russian princess Agafia became his wife.
Konrad unsuccessfully attempted to conquer pagan Prussia in 1209 and several times after. In 1226, he invited the religious military order of Teutonic Knights to fight the Prussians, who made incursions across the borders of his lands, giving them part of his own duchy, Chełmno Land.
Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II issued in March of 1226 the Golden Bull of Rimini, stating that:
- "brother Konrad had offered and promised to furnish brother Herrmann, Honorable Master of the Holy Hospital of St. Mary of the Germans in Jerusalem (Teutonic Order).. with the Kulmer Land between his march and the Prussians and equip them (T.O.) well, so they may take Preussenland (Terra Prussiae) in possession... we recognize the fact, that this land is included in the realm of the empire, we trust the judgement of the Master... we recognize all land in Prussia as an ancient right of the empire ...".
This imperial authorisation was signed by a large number of archbishops and heads of different states. In 1234 the pope issued the Golden Bull of Rieti granting Prussia protection.
It is said that in 1230 the Order supposedly forged a document, according to which Konrad granted them (and Order of Dobrzyń) Chełmno Land. This alleged document has not been seen.
Konrad is often regarded poorly by Poles, because his actions began the process whereby the Teutonic Knights came to control much of the Baltic coastline through their monastic state.
