The Teutonic Knights: Rise and Fall of a Religious Corporation (Medieval Lives) - Hardcover
Book 9 of 10: Medieval Lives
Synopsis
A gripping account of the rise and fall of the last great medieval military order.
This book provides a concise and incisive introduction to the knights of the Teutonic Order, the last of the great military orders established in the twelfth century. The book traces the Order’s evolution from a crusader field hospital into a major territorial ruler in northeastern Europe. Notably, the knights constructed distinctive fortified convents, including their headquarters in Western Christendom’s largest castle. The narrative concludes with the Order’s fifteenth-century decline due to the combined effects of a devastating war with Poland-Lithuania and the Protestant Reformation. The result is an accessible overview of this pivotal corporation in European history.
