The Prissani or Pyritzans (Polish: Pyrzyczanie) were a medieval tribe in Pomerania.
[1] They are associated with the Pomeranians, and were based in the lower Oder region around the modern town of Pyrzyce (Pyritz).
[3] In 1121/22, the Polish duke Bolesław III Wrymouth conquered the area along with the Duchy of Pomerania under Wartislaw I.
[4] The tribe was subsequently Christianized, missionary Otto of Bamberg celebrated the first mass baptism in Pyrzyce.
[4] A separate tribal identity, if upheld so far, vanished when it was integrated in the Duchy of Pomerania.
