Tālava

In 1208, Tālivaldis, together with the Latgalian leaders Rūsiņš of Satekle and Varidots of Autine, established a military alliance with the Livonian Brothers of the Sword.In the same year, the Tālavians invited their northern enemies, presumably Ugandians (or Ugaunians), for peace talks which however ended unsuccessfully.The Tālavians together with the Sword Brothers then fought a four years war with the Estonian tribes, concluded by a peace treaty in Turaida in 1212.In response, the Estonians raided Tālava and captured Tālivaldis in Trikāta, and later burnt him to death.His sons took revenge and plundered the Estonian lands, burning alive all Ugandian men they could catch.
