I have always found the Teutonic Knights really interesting and they are by far my favorite crusading order. I was actually just in Tallinn, which the Teutonic Knights once controlled!
@@hanz2904 Knights of St. John, Knights Templar, Teutonic Order, Order of Calatrava, Livonian brothers, Knights of Santiago... there's probably a few more you could find with a google search.
Wow, I was not aware that the Teutonic Order was founded so relatively late in comparison to the Templars and Hospitallers. I, and many others I'm sure, would be quite interested to see a video on how their Baltic Ordenstaat operated, and how it treated its subjects.
Really interesting. I've never seen a documentary about the Teutonic Order. It's always the Templars, and very very occasionally the Hospitallers, but the Teutonic Order is always overlooked. Glad i found this
Real crusades history is the most prolific channel- I listen at work but I miss parts working so I listen again and teach my kids after work. They are learning that our faith needs defending.
There is a plethora of documentaries and books regarding the Templar Knights. The Teutonic Order on the other hand has very few. So thank you for this awesome info 👍
One of the best aspect of yt now is that you no longer have to watch the anti-catholic Hollywood documentaries to know something about history. Your channel is Godsend..Thank you.

I'm of British heritage and our Teutonic ancestors the Angles & especially the Saxon's (both very much the same) were the founding fathers and roots of England as a nation. And that I am very proud of as an Anglo Saxon. However, I love the history of the Teutonic Knights......But now we need a modern rebirth.
You can be proud, then, of the fact that one of the Kings of England took part personally in at least two "reysas" alongside the Teutonic Knights. Henry, Earl of Derby, took part in the expeditions in 1390 and 1392 and stayed at the Marienburg as a guest of the Hochmeister Konrad von Wallenrode; in 1399 he would, of course, ascend the throne of England as King Henry IV, though not, perhaps, in the happiest of circumstances.
I just visited their Malbrok Castle in Northern Poland, largest castle by area in the world and UNESCO world heritage site. Capital of the order built in 1300. Thanks for the history on the knights origins, where can I find the other podcasts?
They were closely associated with the Holy Roman Emperor, and therefore had more of a German identity and loyalty. The Templars really had no allegiance to any specific medieval king.
Today's Germany was created thanks to the Poles. It was Konrad Mazowiecki who invited the Teutonic Order to Prussia, which over time transformed into the kingdom of Prussia. And as you know, the unification of Germany took place under the leadership of Prussia. I wonder how history would have happened if this fact hadn't happened.
Were Jomsvikings apart of or side with any side that were considered on the Christian side? I know I used the word “side” like 3 times, but I’m only here to learn. I asked a question a year or so ago on here (UA-cam) if Jomsvikings fought alongside Christians because I saw a comment that said they did. Is this true? And did they fight in the crusades or were Jomsvikings before the crusades?
I know your comment is quite old now, but I just saw it, so I will give it a try. The notion that Jomsvikings were had any relation with Christians is wrong, and with crusades in particular, anachronistic. Jomsvikings lived in era pre-dating the crusades, hell, they predated the Christian presence in the Baltic region. Long story short, Jomsvikings were just mercenaries, working for various local, pagan rulers. At later time, when their power was almost gone completely, most of the rulers began to Christianize. It was due to the Christianization that the Jomsvikings abandoned Olaf I of Norway and fought against him, precisely because he became a Christian. So, I would say that the Jomsvikings rather fought against the Christians than with them. But then again, their hayday was in the pre-Christian days.
There were priests among them, but these were not the rank-and-file knights. The brother knights were monks who took religious vows. The concept behind the Templars and other military orders was to combine the role of monk and knight to provide an effective protector of pilgrims.
The purpose of celibacy is to serve the ideal as much as possible. Children add a huge attachment and one cannot serve others to their fullest if in the care of a family.

Same i do like the Templar’s but I prefer the Teutonic knights
You could join them, but you’d have to be Catholic.
@@RomanusVII and you have to be a priest as from 1923

That is coming up. I'll be doing something on the Prussian Crusade in the near future.

Precisely

“Long live the Teutonic Order!”
Thank u ❤, its about time we recognize them. These brave people gave their lives to defend the faith and European culture.
They were heroes for Christendom and western civilization

Question; when you say "Latin Christendom" are you meaning Roman Catholic?

THANK YOU !!!
Beautiful.

Please don't refer to the it as Malbork. It is the (die) Marienburg, the fortress of Mary.
Did you take that picture of Montfort? It’s quite good. As always thanks for the video RCH.
Can you do a bit on the order of st Lazarus or the order of st Thomas? :) people would EAT that up :)
A series chronicling the history of Christian military orders would be very welcomed in my opinion.
HistoricalMinds amen dude 👍
Agreed!!! Deus vult!
Also a video on the Spanish and Portuguese orders would be great.
Ken DellaSandri totally dude^^^^ 👍👍
Nice!
Omg yes. J we are still going to the Holy land together
I'm down!
Real Crusades History I’m going back in 2020. Also I sent you some stuff. Let me know if you got it.
Man I love watching these videos and learning so much. What does the Teutonic word mean? Thanks
It's an old Anglo-Saxon word for "Germanic" or "of German origin"
Badass knights.
Is it true that they were more nationalistic and dependant from monarchs than Templars?
They were closely associated with the Holy Roman Emperor, and therefore had more of a German identity and loyalty. The Templars really had no allegiance to any specific medieval king.
One of the best book to read about the Teutonic Order
Is written by s American Professor William Urban
Today's Germany was created thanks to the Poles. It was Konrad Mazowiecki who invited the Teutonic Order to Prussia, which over time transformed into the kingdom of Prussia. And as you know, the unification of Germany took place under the leadership of Prussia. I wonder how history would have happened if this fact hadn't happened.

For me, Knights Templar comes first followed by the Teutonic knights...
wrong... knights hospitaller comes 1st.
in order of founding the Hospitallers were first then the Templars and lastly the Teautonic Knights
Is lifelong celibacy common for crusader orders? Wouldn't it be permissible for a knight to live a chaste life until marriage like a Christian?
For the religious military orders yes, they did have to take a vow of celibacy. A Templar was like a priest or monk, he could not marry.
Real Crusades History What was the reason behind this practice? Were the crusader orders practically priests who could hold mass and such?
There were priests among them, but these were not the rank-and-file knights. The brother knights were monks who took religious vows. The concept behind the Templars and other military orders was to combine the role of monk and knight to provide an effective protector of pilgrims.
The purpose of celibacy is to serve the ideal as much as possible. Children add a huge attachment and one cannot serve others to their fullest if in the care of a family.
@@RealCrusadesHistory But a married man could be a Templar , provided his wife allowed to do so
Did the Teutonic Knights take Rottweilers into battle? I have a miniature pinscher.
Rottweilers hadn't even been bred yet
Knight Order is something that you will never understand my friends , God bless you all

I don't like the templars and the hospitalars, teutonic knights are the real catholic crusades
You can have a favorite, but all three orders were equally Catholic and equally crusaders.

They killed an awful lot of Poles, Lithuanians and other Slavs. Krzyżacy not popular
