		The conversion of Lithuania deprived the Order of its mission: the union of Lithuania to Poland robbed it of the security which it enjoyed while they were disunited, and gave new strength to Poland, a constant enemy to the Order which had deprived it of any outlet on the Baltic.
		Commercial jealousy aided the process: the Order had alienated the towns by entering into competition with their trade; it had established a monopoly of amber and even, occasionally, of corn; and its agents were spread as far afield as Bruges.
		The Order was at variance within itself; some of the bouses of the brethren refused to obey the marshal, and the grand master quarrelled with the German master.

		The Teutonic Order (German: Deutscher Orden; Latin: Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum; Hungarian: Német Lovagrend-German Knighthood; Polish Zakon Krzyżacki - The Order of the Cross) was a German crusading military order under Roman Catholic religious vows formed at the end of the 12th century in Acre in Palestine.
		The Order induced the immigration of thousands of colonists from Germany and the Netherlands, founded numerous towns and cities, and built a number of castles (Order Castles (Ordensburgen in German)), to defend the territory against attacks from Lithuania and Poland, with whom the Order was often at war during the 14th and 15th centuries.
