Semigallia, also spelt Semigalia (Latvian: Zemgale, German: Semgallen, Lithuanian: Žiemgala, Polish: Semigalia, Livonian: Zemgāl), is one of the Historical Latvian Lands located to the south of the Daugava river and to the north of the Saule region of Samogitia.[2][3] The territory is split between Latvia and Lithuania, previously inhabited by the Semigallian Baltic tribe.[4] They are noted for their long resistance (1219–1290) against the German crusaders and Teutonic Knights during the Northern Crusades. Semigallians had close linguistic and cultural ties with Samogitians.
