Teutonic Knights
This military and monastic order appeared in
the Holy Land at the times of the third crusade, but it focused its activity in
the colonization of Eastern Prussia, Poland and Baltic countries, bringing
Catholicism in the East. In 1199 Pope Innocent 3rd gave them the white surcoats
with a black cross that became the insignia of the order. In 1242, the knights
of the Order were defeated in the battle of Lake Peipus by Alexander Nevsky,
prince of Novgorod.
