The Teutonic Knights pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
William L Urban is an internationally recognised authority on the history of European warfare. He served as L Morgan Professor of History and International Studies at Monmouth College (Illinois). For several years he was editor of the Journal of Baltic Studies. He has written some two dozen scholarly books including The Teutonic Knights (2003) and Small Wars, and their Influence on the Nation State (2016)
The Teutonic Knights were powerful and ferocious advocates of holy war. Their history is suffused with crusading, campaigning and struggle. Feared by their enemies but respected by medieval Christendom, the knights and their Order maintained a firm hold over the Baltic and northern Germany and established a formidable regime which flourished across Central Europe for 300 years.
This major new book surveys the gripping history of the knights and their Order and relates their rise to power; their struggles against Prussian pagans; the series of wars against Poland and Lithuania; the clash with Alexander Nevsky’s Russia; and the gradual stagnation of the order in the fourteenth century. The book is replete with dramatic episodes - such as the battle on frozen Lake Peipus in 1242, or the disaster of Tannenberg - but focuses primarily on the knights’ struggle to maintain power, fend off incursions and raiding bands and to launch crusades against unbelieving foes. And it was the crusade which chiefly characterized and breathed life into this Holy Order.
William Urban’s narrative charts the rise and fall of the Order and, in an accessible and engaging style, throws light on a band of knights whose deeds and motives have long been misunderstood.

評分传教士与武装传教 对于在世俗社会履行自己的各项使命时可否动用武力，中世纪的罗马天主教会往往犹豫不决。首先，教义要求宽恕罪人，但同时不能忘了保护受害者。所以，宽恕悔罪的强盗是一回事，对强盗行为置之不理是另一回事。类似地，教会反对教士拿起武器，鼓励信徒通过和平方...
評分直到今天，说起“骑士团”的历史，不少人耳熟能详的是圣殿骑士团和医院骑士团（也即圣约翰骑士团）；虽然于第三次十字军东征期间（1189—1192）初创的条顿骑士团似乎不那么为人所知，但实际上，他们同样声名显赫，应该说同样拥有丝毫不输于其他骑士团的历史。由美国蒙茅斯学院...
評分异教徒统治下的普鲁士 普鲁士从来不是波兰王国的一部分，更不是它的一个省。不过最靠近波兰的普鲁士部落，也就是向西进入库尔姆的那些部落，受到波兰文化一定程度的影响。也许只有丹麦人有权声称自己是部分普鲁士人的合法宗主，但丹麦人的主张权很弱。不过在13世纪初，瓦尔德马...
評分细心的人一定注意到这样一个有趣的事实，北欧五国（丹麦、瑞典、挪威、芬兰、冰岛）的国旗都有一个偏向左边的十字，所不同的只是颜色。深究起来，其来源与基督教有关。回望德国历史，一个引人注目的事实是，德意志第二帝国、魏玛共和国、第三帝国军旗上，都飞扬着同样偏向左侧...
