The Thirteen Years' War 1454–1466: Teutonic City Guards #3 / Wojna Trzynastoletnia 1454–1466: Krzyżacka Straż Miejska #4 (Perry Miniatures)

 

Hello again!

Today is a day! I finished all 8 unit for my Teutonic City Guard from the Thirteen Years' War 1454-1466.

It is true that I have one more model to whom I plan to give a banner, but I don't know if it will stand with a squad or a commander :)

The Thirteen Years' War (also called the War of the Cities), was a conflict fought in 1454–1466 between the Prussian Confederation, allied with the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, and the State of the Teutonic Order.

       The war began as an uprising by Prussian cities and local nobility to win independence from the Teutonic Knights. In 1454 Casimir IV married Elisabeth of Habsburg and the Prussian Confederation asked Poland's King Casimir IV Jagiellon for help and offered to accept the king as protector instead of the Teutonic Order.
When the King assented, war broke out between supporters of the Prussian Confederation, backed by Poland, and backers of government by the Teutonic Knights.

       The Thirteen Years' War ended in the victory of the Prussian Confederation and Poland and in the Second Peace of Thorn (1466).
This was soon followed by the War of the Priests (1467–1479), a drawn-out dispute over the independence of the Prussian Prince-Bishopric of Warmia (Ermland), in which the Knights also sought revision of the Peace of Thorn.

  1. More great figures Michal and interesting bit of history....I know virtually nothing about the period or history of your area of Europe....I have heard of the Teutonic Knights but that's about the sum of my knowledge!
