The German- and Danish-occupied territory is divided…
1216 CE to 1227 CE
The German- and Danish-occupied territory is divided after the success of the Livonian Crusade into the Livonian Confederation, which is organized by William of Modena, and Danish Estonia.
The capital of Danish Estonia is Reval (Tallinn), founded at the place of Lyndanisse after the invasion of 1219.
The Danes build the fortress of Castrum Danorum at Toompea Hill.
Estonians still call their capital "Tallinn", which according to an urban legend derives from Taani linna (Danish town or castle).
