Thus, during their rule in Samogitia in the years 1400-1401 and 1405-1409, the Teutonic Knights had problems with hostages sent to them from Samogitia. Especially during the years 1406-1408, this was one of the serious problems for the Teutonic Knights in the rule of Samogitia. The poor treatment of the sons of Samogitian boyars held in the territory of the Teutonic state in Prussia (as hostages) caused the Samogitians to refrain from giving up further hostages for exchange. This was one of the important reasons for the escalation of Teutonic-Saudi relations and the outbreak of the Second Samogitian Uprising. As a consequence, the taking of Samogitia from the Teutonic Order led to a sharp deterioration of relations between the Teutonic Order and Poland and Lithuania, and then caused the outbreak of the "Great War" of 1409-1411.
