William Urban The Teutonic Knights
The Samogitian Crusade
Tannenberg and After
William L. Urban
This summarizes the author’s five previous books on the
Deutsche Orden. This order, still in existence and based
in Vienna, was one of the premier military orders of the
Middle Ages. Started in the Holy Land, it took up a
second challenge in Prussia at the invitation of the
Duke of Masovia, then a third in Livonia when the
crusader position there seemed about to collapse.
William L. Urban
This is the history of the fourteenth crusade aimed at
Lithuanian pagans, who had extended their state south
and east, replacing the Tatars who had formerly
dominated medieval Russia. It is a complicated story
involving Poland both as ally and enemy of the Teutonic
Order, distractions inside Germany, schism in the Roman
Catholic Church, and the conversion of Lithuania to the
Roman Catholic Church at a moment when the adoption of
Orthodoxy seemed equally likely.
