Common card · No. 257498

Andreas von Velven, or Andreas von Stirland (1201–1263), was the Master of the Livonian Order from 1241 to 1242 and again from 1248 to 1253. His first tenure was dominated by the campaign against the Russian principalities in the east, and his second by the Order's relationship with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Allegations of catering to Lithuanian interests by dissidents in the order prompted him to resign in 1253.
