Battle of Grunwald

The great triumph over the Teutonic might

On July 15, 1410, combined Polish-Lithuanian forces under King Władysław II Jagiełło crushed the Teutonic Order's army in the largest battle of medieval Europe. Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen fell on the battlefield along with the flower of the Order's knighthood. The victory at Grunwald permanently shattered the Teutonic Knights' military power.
