The treaty was short-lived as the influence and power of religious forces and the Livonian Order changed; however, a tradition of freedom was established. Penikius was first granted the title of Curonian kingdom in the federal treaty only in 1504, and the first such document was issued to Tontegodai as early as 1320. The kings of the Curonians were the Curonians, living in seven free villages. Konini, Kalei, Pliki and Žiemelinas Turlava parishes, Rumba Dragūnai parish, Snepelis parish Viesalgiin and Padura parish Sausgaliin. As vassals, they received lands and privileges from the Livonian Order.
 The Curonian kings were obliged to take part in battles with horses and weapons in defense of the Livonian Order. They also became messengers, translators, secretaries, carpenters, blacksmiths and other artisans and were relieved of their duties and duties. The Curonian kings worked the land themselves or with the help of farm workers, and their land was inherited by their sons.
