Additional information

The Bishopric of Dorpat — present-day Tartu in Estonia — operated as an ecclesiastical principality under the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Order's political orbit, and its small silver issues of the early fifteenth century reflect the chronic shortage of coinage across the eastern Baltic. Henry II Wrangel held the bishopric from 1400 to 1410, a tenure marked by ongoing friction between Dorpat's merchant class and the competing monetary authority of the Livonian Order itself. The lübische denomination takes its name from Lübeck, whose monetary standards dominated Hanseatic trade across the region.
