Chronicon terrae Prussiae

1326 · 14th century · Also known as Chronicle of the Prussian Land

The Chronicon terrae Prussiae, or Chronicle of the Prussian Land, is a Latin history of the Teutonic Order completed in 1326 by Peter of Dusburg, a priest of the Order. It tells of the Order's origins and its conquest of the pagan Prussians and wars with Lithuania up to 1326. It is the main narrative source for the Prussian crusade, though written to celebrate the Order.
