metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper argues that the conflict between the Teutonic Order in Livonia and the archbishops
  of Riga was to a large extent a conflict of memory. The stark differences in how the early history
  of Livonia was remembered by these two competing powers are seen as the main cause
  for their almost permanent disputes and disagreements. The detailed study of their conflicting
  remembrance of the early history of Livonia during the 15th century is followed by a discussion
  of the causes behind the emergence of two such strikingly contrasting visions of history.
  On the one hand, these two versions of history were definitely shaped by the centuries of
  long-standing conflict. It seems that both sides merged their remembrance of the beginnings
  of their respective institutions with their political claims resulting in not only two competing
  narratives on the early history of Livonia, but also in two conflicting visions of how the
  relations of power should ‘rightfully’ be. On the other hand, the memorial practices of these
  two institutions seem to have had a strong impact on the emergence of these narratives. Each
  group was focused on the remembrance of their own members and their deeds only, largely
  forgetting about the achievements of the other, which again led to the development of two
  very narrow historical memories at odds with each other. In other words, their approaches to
  remembering history not only gave rise to their disagreements, but also made finding a lasting
  solution to their differences almost impossible.
