On a massive offensive against the Teutonic Order, Ladislav II of Poland and Grand Duke Witold of Lithuania met the German knights in a decisive and bloody action between Tannenberg and Grunwald in East Prussia. Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen was killed, along with half his army, but the Order’s capital at Marienburg held out against siege until the allies withdrew.
