Requested move

Livonian Order → Teutonic Order in Livonia. — The current name of this article is not clear and definetly should be changed. This military organization was not a separate military order, as Teutonic Order or Order of Malta. It was just a part (although largely autonomous part) of Teutonic Order. Moreover, the term Livonian Order is often used for the Livonian Brothers of the Sword [1]. The so-called list of masters of the Livonian Order is actually the list of Teutonic masters of Livonia, see German article. — Albert Krantz (talk) 17:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]

I'm more inclined toward Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights, personally. Olessi (talk) 02:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with Olessi. One real historian lectured me against using term "Livonian Order" and said it be "Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights." Renata (talk) 05:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the correct full name for this stuf in German is Landmeisterschaft des Deutschen Ordens in Livland. My English is rather poor to translate. — Jón Þórunn (talk) 07:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]
