Person
Volquin
Volquin was the second master of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, from 1209 until his death in 1236. Under his leadership the order conquered the Livs, Latgalians and Estonians, often in rivalry with the bishop of Riga and with Denmark. He was killed with about fifty knights when the Samogitians and Semigallians defeated the order at the Battle of Saule.
