An ancient name for the region on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, occupying the southern and southwestern shores of the Gulf of Riga in what is now the Republic of Latvia. The place name comes from the Latvian Kur people. Latvia's name is Kurzeme. In the early 13th century, Latvia was conquered and evangelized by the German Knights of the Sword, and in 1237 it became part of the German Knights. In 1562, during the Livonian War, Gotthard Kettler (1517-87), the Grand Master of the Livonian Knights, founded the secular Duchy of Courland (capital Mitau, now Jelgava) with the Polish king as its fief.
