During the reign of Konrad I of Masovia Polish-Lithuanian agreements started to be signed. Konrad I of Masovia contributed to invasions of Lesser Poland (Małopolska), which he used to conquer. He started hiring Lithuanians for war expeditions. His successors behaved in a similar way – they signed agreements with Lithuanians against one another and against Lesser Poland. Military expeditions of Lithuanians to the Polish land – frequent in the 13th century-concern mainly Masovia and the Sandomierz district. Lithuanians attacked those areas mainly to rob them, particularly in the period of political divisions and internal fights for power. An essential motive of Lithuanian expeditions to Poland was a revenge for Polish expeditions to Yotvingia. However, Lithuanians did not mean to annex any part of the Polish land. Frequent Lithuanian attacks on the Polish land in the 13th century did not introduce a permanent hostility between Masovian and Lithuanian dukes. Among Polish dukes, or even Christian rulers, Masovian dukes had the best relationship with Lithuanians regarding them as political partners. Masovian dukes constantly had to resist Lithuanian attacks (excluding their common expeditions with Lithuanians to Silesia in 1253 and 1271, the aim of which was to get spoils). Masovian dukes tended not to treat Lithuanians as enemies. In the 13th century Lithuania appeared to be a new enemy of Polish dukes and an ally of mainly Masovian dukes. Konrad I’s sons and grandsons fighting with one another entered into an alliance with Russian princes (Siemowit I, Konrad II) or Lithuanian princes (Casimir I of Kuyavia, Bolesław II). Sometimes they lost control over actions of their allies, who were damaging the Masovian land. Bolesław II made a more permanent agreement with Lithuanians by marrying Gaudemunda, Troyden’s daughter. The Lithuanian-Masovian cooperation was not limited only to helping one of the Masovian dukes against another whose land was attacked by Lithuanians, but it started to be based on the common policy towards a common enemy (Teutonic knights).
