• Opis:
  The article concerns the attempts of the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Order to acquire the titles of princes of the Holy Roman Empire for the Livonian Master and for Livonian bishops. The principal factor that intensified the strengthening of ties between Livonia and the Holy Roman Empire was the subjugation of Prussia and the oath of fealty imposed upon  Teutonic Grand Masters in Prussia by the Polish monarchy in 1466. The first initiative in this direction took place in the late 1460’s and then in the last decade of the 15th century. It is important to note, however, that they were attempts undertaken by the German masters of the Order. The war between the Kingdom of Poland and the Prussian branch of the Order in 1519–1521, as well as the deteriorating position of the Order in Prussia caused the Livonia branch to attempt similar initiatives. Efforts to achieve tighter relations with the Holy Roman Empire further intensified in the spring of 1525 when the Prussian branch of the Order was liquidated. On the basis of previously unused source materials from the Vienna archive, the author of the article provides a detailed analysis of the diplomatic activities taking place in the court of Charles V in years 1525–1527. On the 24th of December 1526, these diplomatic activities led to the granting of princely regalia to the Bishop of Courland, Hermann Ronneberg. Contrary to the established opinion that is popular in the literature, the Livonian Master Wolter von Plettenberg did not receive the title of prince on Christmas Eve of 1526 but rather one year later. In the meantime, the emperor awarded the German Master of the Order, Walther von Cronberg the title of the administrator of the office of the Grandmaster. Both dignitaries received these offices as fiefdoms during a ceremony arranged in July 26th, 1530, Augsburg. Though the tight relations between Livonia and the Holy Roman Empire were an important factor influencing the policies of the Livonian Masters during the next three decades, they did not prevent the dissolution of the Livionian branch of the Order in 1561/1562.;
