Think you could make a video on the Battle of Grunwald/Tannenburg?

[@smokesalotbear]

Love your vids. How about one about Swedes attacked and expanded in Finland during the same time.

[@baltichammer6162]

You can't have nice things with Swedes around. They wreck your good stuff.

What created Ruthina? Who were the Rusins? [ not Russians] What was the roll of the Greek Catholic Church?

[@fiddlesticks7245]

Rus refers to the east slav-scandinsvian mix that dominated cities like Novgorod, Smolensk, and Kiev.

Poland - The only country to fight against the crusaders and jihadists. And won.

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Magda W Poland participated in a lot of Crusades themselves

[@LuvBorderCollies]

Poland has had a rough history when you dig into history. Certainly did not look like modern Poland on the map since borders changed so much, depending on the latest invader.

[@magdaw3123]

yes, the Baltic crusades and in the Balkans. I'm not too sure about just how much they crusaded in the Holy lAnd.

[@magdaw3123]

I think Slavic people in general suffered the most. I forgot to add that they fought both crusaders and jihadists at the same time...

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Magda W they also participated in the battle of Vienna, which was a crusade.

It does not

[@rodom303]

Krzysztof Bącal it dors

[@kribac91]

It belongs to Jesus Christ. Neo-paganism means death as we have seen in the biggest neo-pagan project of recent time- the Third Reich. Better convert from your sins!

[@rodom303]

Krzysztof Bącal Do you not know what skyrim is lololololol

[@rodom303]

Krzysztof Bącal but are you serious tho? That religion had corrupted you Learn that you are jesus as we are one

Teutonic knights? Their name is "Deutscher Ritterorden", German knights order is the correct translation! They were military monks like the Hospitalers and the Templars, but different from them not subject to the pope, but to the emperor of what was the "Holy Roman empire of German nation". Their monastic order was nearly identical to the one of the Templars. Who are the Teutons? The Teutons were a Germanic tribe who before Cesar's time invaded northern Italy and were beaten. Since then there is no news about them! Heaven knows why English-speaking literature speaks of the Teutonic kights. The German knights order was founded during the 3rd crusade in Accra, and existed for centuries. But the Teutons appeared before Cesar, and then were never heard of again!
