Who were the Teutonic Knights?

The Teutonic Knights were established to help the sick and injured in the Holy Land in a similar vein to the Knights Hospitaller. Once they were battle-tested in war, however, they were commissioned to be full-fledged fearsome warriors, fighting for the cause of Christendom. Those causes would have the Teutonic Knights leave the Holy Land altogether when they were redeployed to Eastern Europe.

Soon the knights were attempting to subdue pagans, extending their presence throughout the Baltics by way of a string of fortresses. Their fate would rise and fall with the political and ideological situations that were prevalent on the European continent. The rise of both Poland and Lithuania would come to threaten the Teutonic Order, and the climactic Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 would have repercussions that would reverberate for centuries to come.
