Sakala County
Sakala County ( Estonian: ''Sakala'', Latin: ''Saccalia'') was an ancient Estonian county that was first mentioned in print by Henry of Latvia in the early 13th century. Geography Sakala County is in northwestern Livonia, covering approximately the present counties of Viljandi, the southern half of Pärnu and the western third of Valga County. It was the southernmost of the ancient Estonian counties. History According to one hypothesis, the tribe of ''Sosols'' mentioned in Old East Slavic chronicles implies the people of Sakala. The chronicles say that Kievan Rus organized military campaign against Sosols in 1060 and taxed them. A year later, Sosols rose, destroyed Kievan Rus fort in Tartu and attacked Pskov. After the Livonian Crusade, the county became a part of the Livonian Confederation. In Sackalian folklore, the neighbouring Ugaunians (''ugalased'') were enemy warriors and robbers. For instance, a folk song from Viljandi Viljandi (, german: Fellin, sv, Fellin) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In the early fifteenth century, Georg von Engelhardt lived in Livonia. From him descend all the nobles and barons of the Engelhardt family in the Russian Empire. The first Engelhardt to become a Russian subject was Werner von Engelhardt, who had previously served in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
