Grunwald. The defeat of the Teutonic Order: Wolfgang Akunov

The book of the historian Wolfgang Akunov reveals the story of a long-term armed conflict between the military-spiritual Tutonic Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Grand Duchy of the Lithuanian and Polish Kingdom (XIII-XVI centuries). The main attention is paid to the so -called The Great War (1310-1411) between the Order, Lithuania and Poland, which ended with the defeat of the Order Army in the Battle of Grunwald on July 15, 1410, followed by the siege of the Order of the Order of Marienburg (Malborg), the first and second Torun world, the 13th year war between the Order, its secular subjects and Poles and Poles and Poles and Poles. The further history of the Order, up to the transformation of the Prussian state of 1525 into a vassal to Poland, the secular duchy of Prussia, the germ of the future Prussian kingdom of the Hohenzollerns. Personal courage glorified the Teutonic knights, but they fought for a historically doomed business.
