Years: 1409 - 1409
Grand Duke Vytautas, initially allied with Teutonic Knights, comes eventually to view the Knights as a threat to his power.
He earns their enmity by his support of a 1409 revolt in the Lithuanian territory of Samogitia, which the Knights, who rule Prussia, Pomeralia, and lands in eastern Germany, have occupied since 1398.
Vytautas allies himself with Wladyslaw II (or V), King of Poland.
The Knights seek to break the newly formed union between the two countries, who both mobilize their forces to meet the knights’ invasion.
