Warmia (German Ermeland or Ermland) a region between Pomerania and Masuria in northern Poland. Together with Mazuria it forms the Warminsko-Mazurskie region.
Warmia was one of the four dioceses into which Prussia was divided (1242) by the papal legate William of Modena. The other dioceses, under the archbishop of Riga, were Culmer Land, Pomesania and Samland. The bishopric of Warmia later became a separate exempt bishopric. One of its most notable bishops was Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II.
Warmia passed with western Prussia from the rule of the Teutonic Order to Polish sovereignty under the second Treaty of Thorn (1466). Annexed by the kingdom of Prussia in the first Partition of Poland (1772), it became a part of East Prussia in 1919 and of Poland in 1945.
Warmia's most famous citizens were the family members of Lucas Watzenrode or Watzelrode, who was bishop of Warmia and who raised and educated his nephew Nicolaus Copernicus and his brother following their father's death.
In 1755 the imperial mapmaker of Elbing Johann Friedrich Endersch completed work on a beautiful map of Ermland or Warmia. It details all surrounding towns.
