The Swedish conflicts with the Livonian Order were a series of wars fought between Sweden and the Livonian Order, a branch of the Teutonic Order, fought from 1472 to 1488. It consisted of three wars in total, the first from 1472 to 1475, the second in 1478, and the last from 1485 to 1488.
Background
[edit]Shortly after the peace signed with Denmark in 1472, Sweden became involved in the Teutonic Order's inner fighting. The Order was in a state of decline, based on a religious war, it was unsuitable for a normal and peaceful governance of the land. As soon as the purpose of its creation, to fight against Paganism was gone, it quickly began suffering from internal division.[1]
