A Military History. A comprehensive military history of the Teutonic Order, founded in Palestine in 1190 as a hospitaller brotherhood but transformed into a clerical order of knights by 1198. This work focuses on the rise of the Teutonic Order, its military exploits in the Holy Land and, above all, its crusading ventures in the Baltic region. For example, the Order's struggle against the Russians under Alexander Nevsky is described and the great battles of the Order's knights against the Poles and Lithuanians in the 15th century are dealt with, a time when the Order was already in decline.
