@excathedra1: The Teutonic Knights were a German Catholic military order formed c. 1190 in Acre, Holy Land, to aid pilgrims and manage hospitals. Transitioning into a military force, they became renowned as white-mantled crusaders with a black cross, playing a major role in the Crusades, the Baltic "Northern Crusades," and founding a powerful monastic state in Prussia. ✝️🇻🇦 #medieval #knight #catholicism #catholic #fyp
