The German Teutonic Order were to most infamous knights to my knowledge. They slaughtered thousands of Slavic people and very rarely took prisoners.
The Teutonic Knights were known for being among the most brutal crusader knights. They were a military order that originated in the German-speaking areas, known for their fierce tactics and ruthless approach during the Northern Crusades in the Baltic region. They were known for their harsh treatment of non-Christians and their brutal sieges on fortified cities.
Brutal Knights was created in 2006.
Some were, most were ordinary people.
Knights came first.
Knights of the temple
Anna Comnena thought highly of the civilized crusaders fighting for God, but greatly disliked the dirty and wreck-less crusaders. She speaks about their imposing on her empire and being so brutal for no reason. Pretty much she respected the true crusaders, but didn't like the brutal ones going on crusades for money and power.
The crusaders
If they had a cross they were likely to be Crusaders
i am not quite sure, but i think they wanted knights
In that time if there was a priest he would have tried to help the sick. Most people just died of whatever the problem was. Medical care was non existent.
Such people were called crusaders.
I pretty sure it's hospitalers
They weren't actually called knights... they were called Crusaders, but anyways, they simply went to Crusades to help serve their country and religious beliefs.
