The problem was the Prussians (Baltic people), who attacked the northern areas of Masovia. It was a time of division of Poland's districts. Each region of Poland was ruled by a prince from the Piast dynasty. Masovia was ruled by Duke Konrad I of Masovia. It was he who gave the Teutonic Knights the Chełmno land (1226) in exchange for fighting against Prussia. And so the problems began, first for Mazovia, Pomerania, and then for the entire country.
@@LibraryOfCat There's a lot of truth in that. Although at the beginning these were typical border conflicts. The adoption of a new religion by the 'Polans' changed the scale of the conflict. It was a conflict of two worlds.
And then there's the reality where different tribes fought each other before the countries even existed. You're in for a rude awakening if you cast judgement on any side for "starting" when NOBODY knows.
The reason you had to stand in the train was probably because you did buy tickets at the last minute. There are normal sitting tickets. The standing ones are only sold when the sitting ones are out.
6:40 well Rob, actualy, that siege back in 1410 after Grundwald failed to take the castle... Malbork was in Teutonic hands up to: 1457. Casmir the IV (who eventualy took it from Teutons) was the son of Władisław II (Jagiełło) who crushed Teutons at Grunwald... these 2 events were almost 50 years apart ;)
If you're up for a visit in smaller castles/ruins AND have a hike in beautiful nature, maybe even jump around some rocks, I recommend Trail of the Eagles' Nest. Ogrodzieniec, Mirów & Bobolice, Ojców etc.
I wonder when you visited. A train that full is not normal. Was it an end of a long weekend (Sunday) with people returning from the seaside? And the train was probably heading for Warsaw or Olsztyn. Actually in the morning, I would take a local train terminating in Malbork or Elbląg. It stops on every station so it would be an hour to reach Malbork but after 9:00 a.m. it would be almost empty.
Back 37 years ago I was there as a kid during summer time on the evening they had a spectacle with actors and sound system it was amassing you could hear horses and knights fighting. Also that well on the court square was open we were dropping rocks took 17 counts before rock did the splash.
@@CharlieandRob In refer to Książ Castle, please check - Mary Theresa Olivia Cornwallis-West, British princess, who lived there.

@@CharlieandRob Książ castle looks spectacular, specially during sunny autumn or moonlight night. Gardens are amazing too. You can stay in nearby hotel with night access to the castle square. Highly recommended ❤ Once owned by one of the richest families in Europe.
You could visit Frombork with its Cathedral Hill. Place of work and death of Nicolaus Copernicus. I do recommend it! It is not so far away from Tricity and Malbork.
Exactly - Frombork is unknown pearl. Very worth seeing and not only for learning something about Copernicus. There is much more to offer and not mant tourists, which is good if You would like rest and contemplate.
14:58 guided tour with tour guide takes ~2,5-3hrs, if i recall correctly... but once tour is over you can go and check every single room by yourself ;)
I like your film and comments. „Tectonic” order was one of the reason PLC was erected. The castle was ruined by Russians, but Poles are good in rebuilding stuff. I love Malbork 🏰.
Hello, I have never been on a trip to Malbork because I know everything you said from history lessons and such a trip is boring for us. However, I was at the castle in Malbork and in all places inaccessible to tourists because you can go counting bats once a year with hyropterologists. I am a biologist and throughout my studies I went to count sleeping bats in caves, ruins and castles, and in Malbork they gave us the keys and no one watched us. Only once did we need the help of museum workers when we descended on ropes to the well in the courtyard to count the bats that were on the walls and in the wall cracks of the well.

You had to stand on a train? Nowadays this happens only when you buy a ticket for a train with all seats sold out (by which I mean that despite the lack of seats you decide to take that train anyway and buy a ticket; it grants you the trip, but no seat) or when the ticket selling computer system and the crew which assembled the train are not on the same page (e.g. they use a car with compartments which have 6 seats instead of 8 and it's your seat or compartment that's missing or they don't attach your car at all - happened to me once). Glad you liked the castle!
@@CharlieandRob on British TV or Polish TV? As a private producer selling your films to various broadcasters? Actually, I used to watch a program about interesting places in Poland hosted by some black foreigner on Polish TV. His films were more focused on local culture and traditions than architecture, but it was quite interesting to watch a black guy speaking Polish with a strong foreign accent talking about local artists in some Polish remote villages. I do not watch TV any more so don't know if this program is still broadcast/ Now I watch YT channels only. But to get a wider audience on YT with your tourist content , focus on Poland only may be too little.
Frombork, Krasiczyn, Książ (home for British princess - Daisy), Chojnik, Moszna, Ogrodzieniec (place from Witcher TV series), Chęciny, Bobolice, Grodziec, Grodno, and many, many more. For example Kórnik Castle can be very interesting for You because not only have some connection with Britain by family, who was the owners, but also look very British (it was special design for this purpouse).
Wow! I am really surprised. Castles are My passion and this one is very special. I have been there many times and always I was able to find something new. I do not know if You ever heard, but this is one of the most haunted places in Poland. Lots of ghosts, which can catch You when You are walking there during the night... 👻👹👿👾
Fascinating about the amber 👍🙂. I wonder if that castle has a puzzle depicting it's red brick exterior. It would be so hard to complete 😳😖. Absolutely stunning architecture inside and out, just wow 👌.
As Poland it goes back to 966 so second half of 10th century but the tribes were here for way longer, and oldest human bones in this area dates back around 30 to 40 thousand years.
The train you took at the beginning was one of the oldest and least comfortable. We have better trains in Poland, I swear! The only thing is they're all infamous for being always late, LOL.
