		This translation of the Rule and Statutes of the Teutonic Knights, from the German text of the Knights' "Book of the Order," was made by Indrikis Sterns as part of his unpublished dissertation "The Statutes of the Teutonic Knights: a study of religious chivalry," University of Pennsylvania, 1969.
		This order, signifying both the heavenly and the earthly knighthood, is the foremost for it has promised to avenge the dishonoring of God and His Cross and to fight so that the Holy Land, which the infidels subjected to their rule, shall belong to the Christians.
		But, in order that such protection by the Church be in no way contrary to right, we decree that the brethren in suits which they have against anyone, keep in all ways their liberties and privileges, provided that they not act wickedly, unfairly, and maliciously against those whom they accuse or indict.

	Crusader States, Israel
		The Teutonic Knights, or the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of St. Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem, was founded at Acre in 1191 (or thereabouts), after Jersualem had fallen (1187) and the Third Crusade (1189-1192) was trying to recover the Crusaders' position in Palestine.
		Less conspicuous than these two, there was another important Crusading Order in Outremer, the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of St. Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem, the Teutonic Knights, who were not founded until 1191 at Acre.
		An interesting and romantic survivor of Outremer was, and is, the Sovereign Order of the Knights of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta, the Hospitallers, who held Rhodes from 1309 to 1523 and Malta from 1530 to 1798.

	Today's Take: Here's a book to read twice
		There's the Templars, Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon; the Teutonic Knights, Order of the Hospital of Saint Mary of the Teutons of Jerusalem; and the still familiar Knights of Malta, the Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights of Rhodes.
		Came Constantine and escalation: the church first blessed knights' swords; then -- Holy Land in mind -- it created its own knights and, inevitably, as Walsh reveals the history, knight monks.
		There's the warlike sounding Cistercian Order of Sword Brethren (Order of the Knights of Christ of Livonia).

	Amazon.ca: Books: Warriors of the Lord: The Military Orders of Christendom
		Most of these once-famous orders, such as the Knights Templar, the Teutonic Knights and the Knights of St. John, have not survived to the present day, their influence declining after "the crusading spirit grew colder." But their story is a fascinating glimpse into a distant past in which being a "soldier-monk" was not an oxymoron.
		For example, the first of all Orders, the Knights Hospitallers, of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem (also known as the Knights of Malta, where they built and defended a fortress against one of the most famous seiges in history), essentially invented and administered the first organized hospital in history.
		At least half the book is taken up with the evolution of Christian and Muslim doctrine regarding religious warfare, and with the secular and sacred factional brawling involved in shaping the confrontation that led to the first and subsequent Crusades.

	The Image of the Germans in Polish Literature
		Now, let us look at Lueck for Adam Mickiewicz's statements on the Teutonic Knights "invited into Poland to protect the Poles against the Lithuanians; the Poles later combined with the Lithuanians against the Teutonic Knights -- Translator's note" in his novel "Grazyna", to see just what Professor Markiewicz is so proud of today.
		I would like to remind you of our great writers Adam Mickiewicz, particularly his two novels 'Drazyna', and 'Konrad Wallenrod'; Henryk Sienkiwicz, whose novel 'The Knights' was filmed a few years ago; and Boleslaw Prus, with his work entitled "The Watch Posts".
		When the publisher of the Merian Book says that we know too little about Polish history, we can only agree with him.

		In particular they protested the Treaty of Stenby in 1238 by which Estonia was returned to King Waldemar II, a move the Teutonic Knights found necessary to secure the monarch as an ally for their own expansion eastward in Prussia.
		The first hope dissipated when the Teutonic Knights rejected the Swordbrothers' application for membership; the second was threatened when William of Modena indicated that Estonia would be returned to Waldemar II.
		Bishop Albert had not attempted to conquer the coastal Estonians because Waldemar II had claimed them for himself, and because the interior provinces paid tribute to the Russian prince of Pskov whose daughter had married Albert's brother.

	Amazon.com: Books: Teutonic Knights: A Military History
		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.
		We also find out that there were hardly any teutonic knights present at the famed battle of Lake Peipus, and that the defeat at Tannenberg was not the death knell of the order: it was the political infighting in the order afterwards!
		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 year-after-year struggle to maintain power, fend off incursions and raiding bands, and launch crusades against unbelieving foes.
