Battle of Grunwald.

The Battle of Grunwald, July 15 1410.

Fought on the plains between the villages of Grunwald, Stebark and Lodwigowo - currently in Poland.
The one side was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, supported by the Bohemian, Ruthenian and Tatar forces, under the command of the king of Poland and grand duke of Lithuania, Wladyslaw Jagiello (Jogaila) (about 39,000 troops).
On the other side, forces of the Teutonic Knights and some Western European knights (about 27,000 troops) under the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen.

The Battle was won by Jagiello's forces. Ulrich von Jungingen died in battle, probably killed by polish peasantry while retreating to his camp. After the battle Polish and Lithuanian forces laid siege upon Marienburg castle, but it was ineffective and the siege was lifted shortly afterwards.
To commemorate the medieval battle thousands of modern knights from all across Europe gather every year in July at the Grunwald fields to fight the battle again.
