The Knights of the Black Cross (1/2) (French) (Available until April 5, 2021)
The fascinating and eventful history of the monastic state of the Teutonic Knights, founded in 1224 in northern Poland, which will become the Duchy of Prussia. Today, we remember the Teutonic Order above all in its military facet: that of the Crusader Knights, bloodthirsty missionaries who went to war in the Holy Land. Less is known about its role in the founding of a monastic state, known since the 13th century as the State of the Teutonic Order. While the Pope and Emperor Frederick II, advised by the influential Hermann von Salza, Grand Master of the Order, gave them the goal of converting pagan peoples in the Baltic region, the armed monks freed themselves of their initial mission after the defeat in Palestine: they founded a powerful state, which will subjugate neighboring Poland and Lithuania for two centuries. From the Vistula to the Baltic Sea, the Knights of the Black Cross built castles and towns, and established their headquarters in the fortress of Marienburg, in present-day Poland. It was the start of an extraordinary boom, the influence of the order going far beyond simple religious ambitions. Documentary series (Poland / Germany, 2016, 52mn) Available until 04/05/2021
