Morąg

Morąg arose where an Old Prussian settlement stood before the Teutonic conquest. The Order's commander Hermann von Oettingen granted the new town Chełmno law in 1327, and early settlers came from the Harz region. After Grunwald in 1410 the Polish–Lithuanian army took the town and castle without a fight, but war brought devastation again in 1414. Morąg joined the Prussian Confederation and supported Poland in the Thirteen Years' War; after 1466 it remained an Order fief under the Polish Crown.
