The book by German researcher Friedrich Benninghoven is devoted to the history of the spiritual and knightly order and the missionary activities of the Brothers of the Sword on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. The author tells about the establishment of the Order in Livonia by knights from the North Germanic lands, the statutes and lifestyle of its members, the conversion of pagans to Christianity by fire and sword, as well as the brutal struggle with Russian princes and Lithuanians, which led to the fall of the Order after the defeat at the Battle of Saul in 1236.
