1280 CE
The Sudovians and Lithuanian invade Samland in 1280, but the Order of the Teutonic Knights, alerted to the danger, has fortified their castles and deprives the raiders of provisions.
Komtur Ulrich Bayer of Tapiau leads a devastating counter-raid into Sudovia while the pagans are in Samlan.
The Polish prince Leszek the Black, who had assumed the throne of Kraków in 1279, achieves two significant victories over the pagans, securing the Polish border, and Skalmantas flees Sudovia to Lithuania.
