Curonian lands were conquered by the Livonian Order in 1266 and they eventually merged with other Baltic tribes participating in the ethnogenesis of Lithuanians and Latvians. It was common for the Curonians to carry out joint raids and campaigns together with Estonians (Oeselians).[citation needed] During the Livonian crusade, Curonians formed an alliance with the Semigallians, resulting in a joint attack against Riga in 1228. Curonian resistance was finally subdued in 1266, when the whole of Courland was partitioned between the Livonian Order and the Archbishop of Riga.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3257.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3257.txt
