The Teutonic Knights arrived in Poland in 1226 when they were invited by Duke Konrad I of Masovia to help defend against the pagan Prussians. They established a stronghold in the region and gradually expanded their influence, leading to significant military campaigns and the eventual establishment of the State of the Teutonic Order. Their presence in Poland significantly shaped the historical and political landscape of the region over the following centuries.

Can you please give me some info on Jadwiga versus the Teutonic Knights?

Jadwiga saved Poland and Lithuania by marrying Jagiello, to stop the Teutonic Knights from raiding Poland. The Teutonic Knights were a crusading military order of Germany who were supposed to be Catholic, and were supposed to convert Lithuania, which was the only country left in Europe that was pagan. With Poland and Lithuania united, the two would be stronger, and there would be no excuses for Teutonic Knights to Christianize Lithuania. Jadwiga’s marriage with Jagiello brought Lithuania to Christianity. Jagiello was finally able to defeat the Teutonic Knights years later.
