The battle of Grunwald or in German, Tannenburg, was a pivotal moment in the development of the Polish state. It is eulogized even today and made into a grand Slav vs Teutons story, which it wasn’t quite.
It cemented the Lithuanian(which contained most of modern Belarus as well) Polish commonwealth that lasted until 1793.
Your ancestors may very well have been on BOTH sides of the battle!
