Was Skanderbeg involved in the Battle?

[DuckofTindalos]

He fought the Ottomans, and both sides were Christian... Were the Teutonic Knights involved?

I'm going to take a HUGE wild guess the Battle of Torvioilli, June 29th, 1444?

The Battle of Varna, November 10th, 1444?

Skanderbeg was Gjergj (George) Kastrioti an Albanian Prince.

He led the Battle of Torvioilli and many many more against the Ottoman Turks.

Battle of Grunwald, July 15, 1410

[Monter_Trismegistos]

Correct DandricSturm - Grunwald!!!

This battle was fought between Teutonic Knights and crusaders from all western europe (at least 18000 heavy cavalrym with 6000 infantry, all under grand master Ulrich von Jungingen) vs. Poles (18000 heavy cavalry, 2000 infantry -under king Jagiello), Lithuanians (11 000 light cavalry, 500 infantry - under grand duke Witold) 800 Moldavians and 2000 Tartars.

Battle ended with major victory for Poland, von Jungingen was KIA, Teutonic forces were almost completely destroyed... but after that siege of Teutonic capital Malbork was unsuccesfull - war ended in 1411 with only limited territorial gains for Poles/Lithuanians.
