The Teutonic Knights: The Catholic Church's Most Powerful Warriors - Paperback

The Teutonic Knights are said to be the toughest warriors the Catholic church ever had during the crusades Discover how this Catholic order has influenced history and even, the present times. The Teutonic Knights may receive less attention than the other two Catholic orders of Crusaders-the Hospitallers and the Knights Templar-but their history is just as storied and complex as that of their monastic peers. They were founded in the Middle Eastern fortress of Acre in 1190 AD, and the duress of this war-torn pressure cooker developed in the Teutonic Knights a ferocity that has rarely been matched. The Teutonic Knights were tough-so tough that on some occasions just the sight of their heavy armor, huge broadswords, and helmets with horns reaching to the sky was enough to send their enemies into a full-blown panic.Here in this book, we will explore the finer points of this mysterious order. We will cover who the knights are, where they came from, and where they may go in the foreseeable future. From the Crusades of Acre to the battlefields of World War Two, to the Teutonic organizations of today, we leave no stone unturned as we tell the story of this intrepid group of fighting monks. Come along with us as we delve into the history of the Catholic Church's most powerful warriors.Scroll back up and order your copy today
