After the defeat of Christian forces in the Middle East, the Order moved to Transylvania in 1211 to help defend Hungary from the Cumans (Turkish nomadic peoples who inhabited the Black Sea and along the Volga river). They were later driven out in 1225 after allegedly trying to occupy the area for their own self-under papal sovereignty supersedes Hungarian. 


In 1230, in line with the Golden Bull of Rimini (the official document issued by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, in Rimini on March 1226), Grand Master Hermann von Salza and Duke Konrad I of Masovia to launch the Prussian Crusade, an army Prussia combined to Christianizing the Old Baltic Prussians.
