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.
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!!
Glad you mentioned Ottokar II. Even we Czechs have our mark on the Prussian crusades 😉
That's amazing 🤩🎉❤
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.
Very well done video, zeroing in on the Northern Crusades. An often under-explored part of history.
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.
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 a Series would be made on Crusades it would surely beat the Game of Thrones.
Super fascinating! You have renewed my interest in western history
Very interesting . My family history is from Pelpin area. About 8 miles from Christburg .
speaking of crusades and the kingdom of Bohemia can you talk about Jan Zizka and the Hussite Wars?
that odd moment when im routing for both sides
Really interesting. Many thanks for this.
Good video 👍
Thanks for sharing.
Vistula, Weißel, Weichsel 😉
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.
@@Vitalis94 Yep you cant trust the royals some things never change !
@@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.

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! Respectfully...
I like you sublime indie guitar in the background.
Inviting Teutonic Order is considered to be one of greatest mistakes in Polish history and acquiring the land in prussia is believed to happened because of a fraud of papal documents. Polish-Teutonic cooperation ended in the first half of XIVth century when Order started invading Polish lands, took over Gdańsk and East Pomerania and thus became Polish greatest enemy.
Btw. I think you ment Pomerania not Pomeralia.
If not for the conquest of Pomerellia, you wouldn't even write such a comment. Up until that point, the relations between various Polish duchies and the Knights were highly positive. The takeover of Gdańsk changed it all.
The mere existance of the Knights in Prussia wasn't a mistake, Prussia was never Polish or Slavic in the first place, and if the Teutons had only expanded along the coast and into the Baltic territory as they originaly had, the Polish-Teutonic cooperation would've likely endured.
@@RealCrusadesHistory It's a different case. In Polish historiography it is said that the deal between Prince Konrad and the Order assumed that any lands conquered by Teutonic knights will be part of Masovian Principality and the starting point given by Konrad (Ziemia Chełmińska) will stay in Polish realm. Teutonic Order is said to have falsified this treaty to have those lands for their own and not to be sent away after defeating pagans (just like Hungarian king did). Later on Polish monarchs fought against Order in papal court, but even when successful, the sentence couldnt be enforced
@@Templar_PL The treaty of Kruschwitz that gave Masovia and the to be conquered Prussia to the Teutonic Order was approved by the Papacy and supported in additional Papal Bulls in 1234 as the Bull of Rimini by Gregory IX and in 1257 by Pope Alexander IV. There was indeed some doubts on the authenticity of the document especially among Polish historians (even though originally it was German historian Max Perlbach who raised those doubts). However by now the treaty is generally accepted to be authentic, after a critical reassessment made by the Polish historian Tomasz Jasiński, who managed to refute the criticism made against it. He also argued that the treaty was crucial for Konrad of Mazovia, because it freed resouces, that he otherwise would have needed to defend against the Prussians, in his struggle for the Polish Seniorate.
@@assurbanipalsardanapalus5382 @Vitalis Yes, the antedated bull is considered authentic, but not fair. After all Konrad didn't invite the knights so that they stole his own land from him, and the pope wasn't an impartial advocate here, since he gained as much as the knights from them building a monastic state on the Polish and Prussian lands. And even though Konrad kept Dobrzyń Lands back then (the Knights got Chełmno, Michałów and Nieszawa), the Teutonic Knights invaded them again in the 14th century. So, as much as keeping the Prussian lands probably wouldn't be a long term problem, the Teutonic Knights lost Poland's trust the moment they started to cheat and grab Polish lands. You can have a pope issue an antedated bull to clear things up, but the stink remains.
@@sylwia1410 As I said, like in most cases, Konrad also gained through the treaty, after all he was the one to not only sign it but most likely also proposed the donation to begin with. It was neither the Teutonic Order nor the Pope that forced him to do so, if anything it likely were those friendly Prussians at the border. He obviously supported anything the order did in Prussia, they wouldn't have had the slightest chance of survival if he didn't. Now what those neighbourly relations turned out to become in the 14. century is a whole different case altogether, and doesn't touch on the authenticity of a early 13th. century document.
Great love it. I really enjoy the Teutonic knights. You do a great job
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
'Vogelsong' -- Ah, that wacky German sense of humour!
My All time Favorite Knights Order. The Teutonic Order. ❤✝️
RIP Prussians
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 🤣
Here he comes to make love to my mind thank you sir
