from The Story of Poland: A Nation That Refused to Disappear — Fexingo History · host Fexingo
In 1410, the combined forces of Poland and Lithuania crushed the Teutonic Knights at Grunwald, one of the largest battles of medieval Europe. Lucas and Luna explore the build-up, the tactics, and the aftermath of a clash that shaped Eastern Europe for centuries. They delve into the leadership of King Władysław Jagiełło and Grand Duke Vytautas, the role of the Polish-Lithuanian Union of Krewo, and the devastating defeat of the Teutonic Order. The episode also touches on the controversy over the battle's location, the use of Hussite-style war wagons, and the legacy of Grunwald in Polish national memory. A must for anyone interested in medieval warfare, Polish history, or the Baltic region. #Grunwald #BattleOfGrunwald #TeutonicKnights #WładysławJagiełło #Vytautas #Lithuania #Poland #MedievalHistory #PolishHistory #LithuanianHistory #EastEuropeanHistory #1410 #MedievalBattle #Hussites #WarWagons #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
