You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.82.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Virumaa''' (((lang-la|Vironia)); [[Low German]]: ''Wierland''; [[Old Norse language|Old Norse]]: ''Virland'') is a former [[independent (nation)|independent]] [[county]] in [[Ancient Estonia]]. Now it is divided into [[Ida-Viru County]] or Eastern Vironia and [[Lääne-Viru County]] or Western Vironia. [[Vironians]] built many [[stronghold]]s, like [[Tarwanpe]] (modern [[Rakvere]]) and [[Agelinde]] (now Punamägi Hill in [[Äntu]] village).

Vironian was divided into five [[clan]]s (''kilikunda''), ''Maum'' (in Estonian "Mahu"), ''Laemund''  (Lemmu) also known as ''Pudiviru'', ''Askele'', ''Revele'' (Rebala), ''Alentagh'' (Alutaguse). Like other Estonian tribes, Vironians remained predominantly [[pagan]] before [[Northern Crusades]] in the 13th century.

== History ==

According to the [[Livonian Chronicle of Henry]], Vironians believed that Tharapita, a god worshipped by [[Œsel|Osilians]] (the tribe inhabiting [[Saaremaa]]) was born in Vironia. However, Vironian elder Thabelin of Pudiviru had endorsed Christianity before the German and Danish crusaders reached Estonia. Thabelin (Tabellinus) was baptized by Germans in [[Gotland]] island. Later, when competing Danish crusaders arrived to Vironia, Thabelin was suspected of being too pro-German and hanged.

In 1219, the German crusaders of the [[Livonian Brothers of the Sword]] made a raid against Vironians together with recently christened [[Latvians|Letts]], [[Livonians]], and several proto-Estonian tribes ([[Sakalians]], [[Ugaunians]] and [[Jervians]]). After five days of killing and pillaging, Kyriavan, Thabelin and other Vironian elders asked for a truce. According to the chronicle, Kyriavan told he had a "very bad god" before and therefore was ready to accept the Christian god. After truce was made, Vironian elders accepted Christianity. Some sons of elders from all five Vironian clans were taken hostages by the crusaders as part of the truce. In 1221, Vironians took part in failed attempt to oust Danes who had built a fortress in the place of modern [[Tallinn]] in the neighboring province of [[Revelia]]. Danes retaliated, killed several Vironian elders and put Vironians under heavy taxes.

In 1225, Danes and German crusaders clashed with each other over the ownership of Vironia. In 1226, The [[papal legate]] [[William of Modena]] arrived to Vironian stronghold of [[Tarwanpe]] and mediated peace between Germans, Danes and Estonians. A year later the Vironian territories were taken by [[Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights|Brothers of the Sword]]. Vironians sided with the new Papal Legate [[Baldwin of Alna]] who in 1230 tried to create a Papal Vassal State in Northern Estonia, including Vironia. In 1233, the supporters of Baldwin were defeated by the Order in the city of Reval (Tallinn). Vironian territories were snatched by the Order again as Baldwin of Alna complained in his report to the Pope in 1234. The Order was also accused of oppressing Vironian converts and expelling local supporters of Church.

In 1238, Vironia was given to Denmark again according to the [[:da:Stensby-aftalen|Treaty of Stensby]]. The area went into hands of powerful vassals of Danish king, many of which were of local origin, like Dietrich of Kievel (probably 'Kivela' - 'land of stone' in Estonian) who controlled Eastern part of Vironia, where he started to build the stronghold of [[Narva]]. Vironians and Vironian vassals took part in Order's and Denmark's failed crusade against [[Novgorod Republic]] 1240-1242. The names ''Virumaa'', ''Vironia'' and ''Virland'' have been continuously used for the North-Eastern Estonia. For example, in 1266, [[Margaret Sambiria]], [[Queen dowager|Dowager Queen]] of Denmark was named the Lady of Estonia and Virland.
