Reinforcements arrive from the Rhineland in January …
Years: 1262 - 1262
Reinforcements arrive from the Rhineland in January 1262 , led by Wilhelm VII, Duke of Jülich, who had been obliged by Pope Alexander IV to fulfill his crusader duties in Prussia.
This army lifts the Siege of Königsberg but as soon as the army returns home, the Sambians resume the siege and are reinforced by Herkus Monte and his Natangians.
Herkus is subsequently injured and the Natangians retreat, leaving the Sambians unable to prevent supplies from reaching the castle and the siege eventually fails.
The Prussians are more successful in capturing castles deeper into the Prussian territory (with an exception of Wehlau, now Znamensk), and the Knights are left only with strongholds in Balga, Elbing, Chełmno, Toruń, and Königsberg.
