600th Anniversary of the Battle of Grunwald

The Battle of Grunwald happened on July 15, 1410, and is considered one of the most important battles of Medieval Europe. King Jogaila (Władysław II Jagiełło) lead an alliance between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, against the knights of the Teutonic Order. The Teutonic Order was decisively defeated in this battle and never regained their previous power.
