Teutonic Knights' Rule

The Teutonic Knights were a medieval religious military order that combined spiritual duties with territorial governance. Their rule involved defending Christendom, especially during the Crusades, while also establishing and managing their own states in regions like Prussia and Livonia. They followed strict religious and military discipline, with commands rooted in Christian teachings. As rulers, they enforced laws, collected taxes, and maintained security within their territories. Their governance blended religious dedication with martial discipline, aiming to spread Christianity and secure their frontier regions through both faith and military strength.
