As i sit at my lunch table on break. J Stephens (in a way only he can) tells me a great Teutonic tale too further my historical knowledge. You Sir are a Modern Treasure!!
I love that you cover topics other than the crusades in the holy Land which although epic are done to death while the northern crusades are often overlooked. Great video, I look forward to the next one.
Herman Balk was such a great knight and commander. Despite having read a lot on the subject, i allways love hearing about it in your presentations. Godspeed and keep up the good work brother.
Great video. btw, it would make a very great feature if you added animated arrows etc. on your maps showing troop/army movement. Also, your maps are quite colorful so its hard to know exactly what belongs to who. (just a tip). Keep up the great work! I learn alot, thank you.
If I'm not mistaken I'm certain that the wars between Poland and the Order started when the Order claimed Gdansk/Danzig as their own city even though being under Polish Control. Frustrated with the the dispute the Teutonic knights in the city massacred the populace kicking of the many wars.
You almost had it right. The Teutons were supposed to help take back Gdańsk, which the Brandenburgians just coquered. But after reconquering the city and receiving no payment from the Polish King Władysław, the Knights choose to take the whole region as a payment.
@@firstnamelastname9013 It's simple, he was broke because of the wars he had fought (he basically reunified the country, so he fought a lot), and the Knights demanded the payment immidetely. Should've payed his debts, but then again, who could blame him?
Actually, problems started much earlier, back in the 13th century, when the Teutonic Knights burnt down Płock, the capital city of Duchy of Mazovia and stole (with the help of the pope) lands that Konrad, Duke of Mazovia, only leased to them. Somehow the videos omit all that part about how the Teutonic Knights weren't all that much honourable.
Christburg sounds fake LOL I know it's not but it sounds like the name of a town in a bad fiction novel that was written by a teenage, protestant girl. LOL 🤣

I bought it. Finally found someone who owns a credit card who bought it for me. This is a good start for the year :D
Happy 2020 from the Netherlands
This is so interresting. I thought the Prussian Crusades where about simply conquering territory, but I learned there was a little more to it.

Very well done video, zeroing in on the Northern Crusades. An often under-explored part of history.

Glad you mentioned Ottokar II. Even we Czechs have our mark on the Prussian crusades 😉
That's amazing 🤩🎉❤

Super fascinating! You have renewed my interest in western history
If a Series would be made on Crusades it would surely beat the Game of Thrones.
Very interesting . My family history is from Pelpin area. About 8 miles from Christburg .
Really interesting. Many thanks for this.
that odd moment when im routing for both sides
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! Respectfully...
I like you sublime indie guitar in the background.
speaking of crusades and the kingdom of Bohemia can you talk about Jan Zizka and the Hussite Wars?
Good video 👍
Thanks for sharing.
Vistula, Weißel, Weichsel 😉
My All time Favorite Knights Order. The Teutonic Order. ❤✝️

Would you mind telling me the film you used in these? It is the greenish, monochromatic old looking film.
At 3:59 to be specific
Great love it. I really enjoy the Teutonic knights. You do a great job
RIP Prussians
