Teutonic knights of the Livonian Order recovered from disaster at Tannenberg (1410) and intervened in the Lithuanian succession, supporting Swidrygiello against Zygmunt Korybut. Attacked at Wilkomierz, north of Vilna, by Zygmunt and Polish General Jakob Koblynski, the Order suffered another decisive defeat, with Grandmaster Frank von Kersdorf routed and killed.
