Livonian Knighthood
The Livonian Knighthood (German: Livländische Ritterschaft) was a fiefdom that existed in Livonia (now Southern Estonia and Northern Latvia). It was formed in 1561 by Baltic German nobles and disbanded in 1917. Like other Baltic knighthoods, the Livonian also had semi-autonomous privileged status in the Russian Empire.
