Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify 🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/033WB8M... The Horsemen’s War of 1519–1521 was the final major conflict fought by the Teutonic Order’s monastic state against Poland. What began as another struggle over Prussia became a turning point that pushed the Teutonic Knights toward the end of their medieval political power. In this documentary, we explore why Grand Master Albert of Brandenburg challenged King Sigismund I of Poland, how the fighting spread across Prussia, why outside powers became involved, and how the conflict ultimately helped transform the Teutonic State into a secular duchy.
