Siege of Malbork

The Siege of Malbork took place from 1457 to 1460 during the Thirteen Years' War, which was fought between the Kingdom of Poland and the Teutonic Order. Malbork Castle, a stronghold of the Teutonic Knights, was besieged by Polish forces aiming to reclaim territory. The siege was marked by lengthy battles and strategic maneuvering due to the castle's impressive defenses. Ultimately, the Polish forces succeeded, leading to the eventual capture of the castle. This event was significant in shifting power in the region and contributed to the decline of the Teutonic Order’s influence in Eastern Europe.
