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