Descriere The Teutonic Knights: A Captivating Guide to a Catholic Military Order and Their Role in the Crusades and Impact in Europe during the Middle - Captivating History

\n \nWho were the Teutonic Knights?\n \nThe Teutonic Knights were established to help the sick and injured in the Holy Land in a similar vein as the Knights Hospitaller. Once they were battle-tested in war, however, they were commissioned to be full-fledged fearsome warriors, fighting for the cause of Christendom. Those causes would have the Teutonic Knights leave the Holy Land altogether when they were redeployed to Eastern Europe.\n \nSoon the knights were attempting to subdue pagans, extending their presence throughout the Baltic by way of a string of fortresses. Their fate would rise and fall with the political and ideological situations that were prevalent in the European continent. The rise of both Poland and Lithuania would come to threaten the Teutonic Order, and the climactic Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 would have repercussions that would reverberate for centuries to come.\n \nThis book follows the meteoric rise, the climactic fall, and the many years of rebirth undergone by the Teutonic Knights. From Jerusalem to the modern-day charitable organizations headed by the order, this text covers the complete history of the Teutonic Knights in full.\n \nHere in this book, you will discover: \n \n- How the Teutonic Order was formed \n- Their mission in the Holy Land \n- Their Crusades in the Balkans and the Baltic \n- How the Protestant Reformation affected the order \n- And a whole lot more! \nScroll up and click the add to cart button to learn more about The Teutonic Knights!\n
