    Dr. Eleanor Janega is joined by archeologist Aleksander Pluskowski to discuss the riveting history of the Teutonic Knights, to find out how a small military-religious order evolved during the Third Crusade into a formidable power controlling vast territories in the Baltic. They explore the nuanced differences between the Teutonic Knights and other Crusading groups, their complex relationships with pagans, their dramatic militarisation and how modern Eastern Europe grapples with this complex heritage.


    Gone Medieval is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega. The audio editor is Nick Thomson, the producer is Joseph Knight. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
