1217 battle of the Livonian Crusade

The Battle of Matthew's Day was fought near Viljandi on 21 September 1217 during the Livonian Crusade. The adversaries were the Sword Brethren with their recently converted Livonian and Latgalian allies versus an army of 6,000 Estonian men from different counties, led by Lembitu, who had attempted to unify the Estonians. The Germans won, although the converted Livonian chieftain Caupo of Turaida died.
