Набор наемников перед Грюнвальдской битвой1410 г. в контексте политики и дипломатии эпохи
Politics, Diplomacy and the Recruitment of Mercenaries before the Battle of Grjunval’d in 1410

Summary/Abstract: This article will cast a refl ection on politics and power during the months preceding the battle, the consequenses for the important recruitment of mercenaries and thus also for the result of the conflict. In spite of the immense amount of publications on the famous battle, published during more than one and a half centuries, it is still worthwhile to examine more closely old stereotype theses, some of which have proved to be wrong, and to look for new or unconsidered sources, especially in the archives of the Teutonic Order in the Geheimes Staatsarchiv in Berlin.
