1410 Grunwald Battle re-enacted

15.07.2006

The Battle of Grunwald of 15 July 1410, one of the biggest armed clashes of Medieval Europe, is being re-enacted in mid-northern Poland this afternoon.

The event began with a holy mass and the Grunwald roll call. Taking part are 1,500 amateur troops from Poland and abroad, who will recreate the battle in which allied Polish and Lithuanian troops defeated the forces of the Teutonic Knights, thus sparking off the collapse of that medieval military order.

I just showed this to my daughter, who is generally clueless about most every thing. I pointed out to her that this battle determined that she would be Half English and half Polock rather than half English and half German.

Evil woman look.

There are at least three songs with that title, and I think we know why. ;')

LB,

You seem too intelligent to be a Polock, and too decent to be English, what gives?
