It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about Teutonic ordered thank your for sharing

[@neror3x437]

Finally a covering documentary of this order! I for a bit fed up with the templars! Now a couple of ‘in depth’ docu’s about the politics, leaders, enimies, build up too events…. Etc! Perfect 👍🏻

[@danalasmane6191]

Even though as a Latvian, so a direct descendant of the last pagans of Europe, I feel a little triggered by the mention of Teutonic knights, this seemed to be a relatively objective take on this often neglected chapter of history when compared to the crusades to the Middle East. Except for the several repetitions of 'wilderness' - compared to big Western, South European civilisations, yes, there was no centre, like, say Rome, but we were never conquered by the Romans, so we never had those Roman-founded urban centres that were transformed into medieval strongholds after the collapse of the Roman empire. Neverthless, there were plenty of smaller and bigger tribal or ethnical areas with well-developed centres (sadly, wooden). So 'wilderness' might be a touch too strong. It is very sad though that our civilisations keep repeating the same mistakes - instead of being united when facing a greater danger and maybe changing the course of history, we just keep squabbling amongst ourselves and surrender the things our ancestors died for, well, without an actual fight (looking at the state of Europe at the end of 2023)...

Trakai castle was not built by the Teutonic Knights. It was built by the Lithuanians as a defense againts the Teutonic Knights.

[@robjus1601]

Fantastic show!

[@hairyjohn5825]

I love these documentaries!

[@benjaminpratt2016]

Well done. Very cool angle on the development and use of crossbow warfare, and it pieced together the tapestry of intrigue that was 1300-1500

The history of the Teutonic Order on the Baltic coasts wasn't just a series of battles and constant war. There was a highly developed civilian life in the order state. Too many aspects of that period are completely missing in this documentation. It's actually another repetition of the favourite British way to interpret German history.

[@gnasher688]

In what way do the British interpret German history ??

[@riccardodececco4404]

@@gnasher688 as an eternal development towards the rule of the Austrian painter - and even that rule they get wrong....

[@solgarling-squire7531]

The title here is not about the people of the Baltic coasts. Teutonic Knights. That is the subject. Whining about British views of German history is.....your problem.

[@Truedoogie]

13:04 "It was the helicopters which really turned the tide for the Teutonic Order."

[@pawelek83bdh]

34:31 TROKAI castle was not built by teuotnic knights, but by the father of Grand Duke Vytautas.

[@michaelmazowiecki9195]

Trakai castle was, together with Vilnius castle, built in brick on the orders of Keystutis and his son, Vitautas the Great, as a key fortress. They had the bricks imported from Polish ruled Gdansk. He was a first cousin to King Jagiello of Poland and his battlefield commander at the battle of Grunwald in 1410 CE. The present day Trakai castle is, much like Malbork castle, a post WW2 reconstruction.

[@kerdimantas1]

The creators of this video should at least google some facts before presenting them as truth. Trakai castle in Lithuania was built by lithuanians, not the teutonic knights. The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century by Lithuanian Duke Kęstutis, and around 1409 major works were completed by his son Vytautas the Great. So it is nonsense that it was administrative center of the Order as it is told here

[@aidasskruodys7313]

Trakai castle was not built by the Teutonic nights. it was built by Vytautas the Great, the Grand Duke of Lithuania.

[@Andy_Babb]

Thank you. I’m really, really hoping this whole series get uploaded. I can’t find it with this narrator ANYWHERE 😫

[@Fotboya]

Also, so far as I know, a precursor to the "Nordic crusade", was the fact that Baltic pirates were raiding Swedish shores. Jarl Birger, and his clan - Folkungarna, would not take it, would protect the people of the very very new nation of Svitjod, that would evolve to the nation of Sweden over time, they were very much involved in the Nordic crusade, and so far working with the Teutonic Order, or as we say Den Tyska Ordern

[@songrada1]

Trakai castle was built by lithuanians duke Kestutis, not teutonic order

History is a bunch of lies agreed upon. History is told by the winners.

[@solgarling-squire7531]

That is propaganda. History is an academic study conducted by qualified researchers. Don't confuse your local political world as representative of all human knowledge.

[@Zanota85]

@@solgarling-squire7531 You people have been bent on rewriting history along the Baltic shores for a lonnnggg time. Qualified researchers you say, have you watched the whole doc? Its ludicrous. That take with the "qualified researchers" smiling lightly one after another is particularly blood boiling. We are talking about genocide here.

[@ilnigromante666]

Its no exageration that the Baltic Crusades had a strong protocolonial aspect as they where heavily interlaced with the german colonization of the eastern baltic shore. The settlements for colonists already had a standized project even. More than any weapon, the stone castle was the most important in bringing the region under german catholic dominance.

[@ilnigromante666]

As Dr. Nicolle has put well, many of the current historical clashes and grievances in Eastern Europe have at their origins the Baltic Crusades.

[@lidiabano4698]

Wow I had no idea this happened in the Baltic

[@gregedmand9939]

What were the "pagan" beliefs that these Crusaders attacked? The evolution of Oden, Thor and Freya worship? Or the Eastern Orthodox and Cathar-like offshoots?

[@Zanota85]

First ones, for sure!
