The Prissani or Pyritzans (
Polish: Pyrzyczanie) were a
medieval tribe in Pomerania. They were first mentioned as "Prissani" with 70 civitas by the
Bavarian Geographer, ca. 845.[1] They are associated with the
Pomeranians, and were based in the lower
Oder region around the modern town of
Pyrzyce (Pyritz).[2] The mention in the Bavarian Geographer is the only written record referring to the tribe.[2]
