Today is 761 years since 1260 when Samogitians together with Curonians defeated united forces of Teutonic Knights from Prussia and Livonian Order from Livonia.
When the battle started, Curonians switched from the Knights side to the Samogitian side, and Estonians refused to fight on the side of Knights.
This battle inspired uprising of Prussians, Semigalians, Curonians and Oeselians. Semigalians were the last who surrended (1290, part of them emigrated to Lithuania).
