Grunwald - 600 th anniversary of the battle

[|GRUNWALD]



On 15 July 1410, on the battlefield of Grunwald, the united Polish, Lithuanian and Ruthenian forces under King Władysław Jagiełło routed the Teutonic Knights who had been a threat to both Poland and Lithuania. 600 years ago, the flower of European knighthood clashed near the village of Grunwald in what turned out to be one of the largest battles of the Middle Ages. Supported by armies of West European knights, the forces of the Teutonic Order were defeated.

The battle shifted the balance of power in Eastern Europe and marked the rise of the Polish-Lithuanian union as the dominant political and military force in the region.
