 The Samogitian border was closed, disrupting communication between the Teutonic Knights in Prussia and its branch in Livonia.These actions are usually interpreted as direct support to Casimir IV Jagiellon, King of Poland.However, this might be oversimplification as the attacks were possibly carried out by unruly Samogitians looking for loot, closing of the border was not considered an act of war, and Lithuanian nobles generally did not support the war.
