Teutonic Order. Crusaders of the North (subtitles) 

In the Middle Ages, an influential organization of knights-monks, the Teutonic Order, emerged. Starting as a modest brotherhood to care for wounded crusaders, it later gained the status of a powerful order of knights. In this video we will tell you about the origins of the Teutonic Order and its role in the dramatic events of that era. You will learn about the long struggle of knights in white cloaks with black crosses for strengthening the position of Christianity on the eastern borders of Europe.
What obstacles and fierce resistance warlike Prussian tribes, professing pagan beliefs, awaited them on this path? How did the Teutonic Order contribute to the spread of the Christian faith in this region? And you will also learn about the reasons that eventually led to the loss of the Order's holdings in the lands of Prussia.
