Pomesanians
Pomesanians were one of the Prussian clans. They lived in Pomesania ((ドイツ語:Pomesanien); (ポーランド語:Pomezania); (リトアニア語:Pamedė)), a historical region in modern northern Poland, located between the Nogat and Vistula Rivers to the west and the Elbląg River to the east. It is located around the modern towns of Elbląg and Malbork. As the westernmost clan, the Pomesanians were the first of the Prussians to be conquered by the Teutonic Knights, a German military crusading order brought to the Chełmno Land to convert the pagans to Christianity. Due to Germanization and assimilation, Pomesanians became extinct some time in the 17th century.
== Etymology ==
The territory is said in folk etymology to have been named after Pomeso, a son of Widewuto, legendary chieftain of the Prussians. Georg Gerullis determined that its name was actually derived from the Old Prussian word ''pomedian'', meaning ''fringe of the forest''. The Lithuanian term ''pamedė'', having the same meaning, was introduced by Kazimieras Būga.
