Vidzeme, Historical region on eastern Baltic Sea coast, Latvia
The territory encompasses most of northern Latvia between the Gulf of Riga and Estonian border, featuring rivers, forests, and agricultural lands.
German crusaders established the Livonian Brothers of the Sword in 1202, initiating territorial control and religious conversion of local Baltic tribes.
The region developed through interactions between Baltic tribes, Germanic settlers, and neighboring powers, forming a distinct medieval administrative structure.
Modern Vidzeme incorporates several regional centers including Valmiera, Cēsis, and Sigulda, connected by roads and railways from the capital Riga.
The territory maintained a confederation of five independent states during medieval times, including bishoprics, knight territories, and independent cities.
