Livonian Rhymed Chronicle
The ''Livonian Rhymed Chronicle''〔(The Livonian Rhymed Chronicle Published 1977, Indiana University )〕 ((ドイツ語:Livländische Reimchronik)) was a chronicle written in High German by an anonymous writer. It covers the period 1180 – 1343 and contains a wealth of detail about Livonia — modern Estonia and Latvia.

The ''Rhymed Chronicle'' was composed to be read to the crusading knights of the Livonian Order during their meals. Its primary function was to inspire the knights and legitimise the Baltic crusades. As such, it is infused with elements of romance and exaggerated for the purpose of drama. However, this is debated by A. Murray. He suggests that during mealtimes the knights were read sections of the bible or the word of God, so that they could 'receive spiritual as well as corporal nourishment'. There was little of this in the ''Chronicle''. There is also the fact that the ''Chronicle'' is written in high German, and the majority of the knights who were in Livonia at that time would have spoken low German. This would mean that they would have struggled to have understood what was being read to them anyway. Murray argues that due to its imagery used to describe the battles and its focus on military expeditions it is more likely to have served a purpose to appeal to the mentality of those who may have volunteered for service with the Sword Brothers and Teutonic Knights to encourage them to join the orders.
