The terra Cadinensis in Prussia was first mentioned in a 1255 deed. It was allegedly named after Cadina, a daughter of an Old Prussian chief. Actually Old Prussian kudas means "hardship" or "wilderness". Named Kudien in 1354, the Teutonic Knights of the Elbing commandry had built a Vorwerk estate near the site of a former Prussian fortress, where they held court over the native Pogesanian inhabitants in the area. From 1431 the Cadinen manor was owned by Johannes von Baysen, leader of the Prussian Confederation in the Thirteen Years' War against the Teutonic Knights under Grand Master Ludwig von Erlichshausen.
