The Teutonic Order

The Teutonic Order was founded during the Third Crusade to the Holy Land and, after the fall of the Crusader states, shifted its focus to the State of the Teutonic Order at the Baltic Sea, which later became the Duchy of Prussia. Jürgen Sarnowsky tells the fascinating story of this clerical chivalric order, from its beginnings in the twelfth century, via the dissolution of the Teutonic Order state, to the present day. For the third edition, this small reference work has been updated to reflect the latest research findings.
