In June 1410 Ladislos II of Lithuania invaded the Order's territory with an army of 10,000. It included many of the Teutonic Knights enemies - Poles, Lithuanians, Russians, Tartars and Cossacks. The armies clashed on the rolling hills of Tannenberg, although neither side could gain any decisive advantage. The Hochmeister then led his remaining reserve against the Lithuanian King's contingent in an attempt to pierce the enemy line. His charge failed and he and many of the Order's leading officer's were surrounded and killed. The Teutonic Knights never recovered from this disastrous defeat, which marked the beginning of a terminal decline in this once great Order.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 316gAuthor: Stephen TurnbullIllustrator: Richard HookContributor: Richard Hook (Illustrated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: HistoryBook Series: CampaignRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
