Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of middle ages and medieval period continues with a video on the creation of the Teutonic Order. We dive into the origins and rise of the Teutonic Order, a German brotherhood of medieval knights that grew from humble beginnings in a field hospital outside Acre during the Third Crusade to a powerful military force. Initially founded as a charitable organization by crusaders from Lübeck and Bremen, the Teutonic Order evolved into a formidable order of warrior-monks. This episode covers their transformation, structure, and impact as they expanded into Prussia and the Baltic regions, establishing a unique dominion marked by strict hierarchy, military discipline, and economic control. Discover how the Teutonic Knights adopted principles from the Knights Templar and Hospitaller, managed lay and spiritual members, and carved out a powerful medieval state. Join us as we explore their intriguing role in European history and their eventual decline in the 15th century, setting the stage for future chapters in this epic story.
