Knights of the Cross did not want to put up with the outcome of the Thirteen Years' War, as a result of which he lost a large part of its territory and has appeared in the universe according to the Polish crown. Hope for the return of former possessions and independence only on its own is no longer necessary - military power of the Order was thoroughly undermined. Therefore the great masters in the postwar decades actively sought allies against Poland. Unwillingness to comply with the terms of Torun world reflected, in particular, in an effort to avoid the Supreme Ruler of the Order of the oath of allegiance to the king.
So, grand master (1477-1489) Martin Truhzes background Vetts Hauz in response to the king tried to take an oath to give him armed resistance. However, among the subjects of the Order of the reluctance to get involved in the war was so great that Master difficulty assembled squad of only a few hundred people - to resist such forces garnet hill sale of the day was pointless. Truhzesu fell on his knees to beg forgiveness from the King Casimir Jagiello, and then swear allegiance to him.
Did not dare openly oppose conditions Torun world and the next Grand Master (1489-1497) Hans von Tiff. For such restraint he had serious osnovaniya.Delo that in Polish political circles matured plan of liquidation of the Order of the State of Prussia. This idea came from Warmia garnet hill sale of the day Bishop Luke Vattsenrode (1447 - 1512), maternal uncle and tutor of the great astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543). Vattsenrode plan relied on a compelling argument that since the Order was created to fight against "infidels", his stay in Prussia began to lose meaning. After all, here was a long Prussian Paganism dispelled, and Lithuania officially baptized. Bishop advised the Polish king Jan Olbrakht send Crusaders in Moldova or the hem to fight the Turks. Plan was discussed in 1494 at a meeting of the sons Casimir Jagiello Yana Olbrakht - King of Poland, garnet hill sale of the day Wladyslaw - King of Bohemia and Hungary, Alexander - Grand Duke of Lithuania, Sigismund, who had then not yet the crown. Jagiellonian idea supported Brandenburg Margrave garnet hill sale of the day Friedrich, he also promised to enlist the support of the Emperor and the German princes. Polish court sought garnet hill sale of the day support in neighboring monarchies as to overcome the resistance of the Order could only placing a solid military force.
Knowledgeable about the intentions of the Polish crown Grand Master von Tiff diligently garnet hill sale of the day fulfilled requirements of Torun world and even implicitly allocated to the king in 1497 for the 400 soldiers of the Turkish campaign. Tiff he led his squad. However, even before the outbreak of hostilities he died in Lviv. Poles defeat in the war with the Turks and the death of the Grand Master moved the execution plan of liquidation Ribbons Prussia.
Order skillfully took advantage of the situation. Even during his lifetime Tiff among those who determined the Order's policy, the idea to make the Grand Master of one of the noblest of the German princes. Crusaders expected release from the King taking the oath as the head of the Order of high birth, and bound up with the political hope for the return of lands lost after the Thirteen Years' War.
The most suitable candidate for this role seemed Saxon Elector Frederick, secret negotiations which were launched in 1496 by Georg Friedrich's garnet hill sale of the day elder brother was married garnet hill sale of the day to the sister of the King of Poland Jan Olbrakht. This fact was given paramount importance: it instilled hope na favor to the future garnet hill sale of the day king head of the Order. However, the Polish King would not have approved of such a turn of events, garnet hill sale of the day because the strengthening of German influence in the Order was not in his interest. And yet, anxious conflict with the Turks, Jan Ol-Bracht was forced to come to terms with the election in 1497 of Saxony Friedrich ha Grand Master. Even before the election Fried Emmerich promised not to swear allegiance to the King Crusaders. Becoming the Grand Master, he evaded the execution of this ritual, and the relationship between the Order and the Polish crown again deteriorated sharply. Determined to force the king to persuade recalcitrant vassal to submission, but in 1501 Jan Olbracht died.
New Polish garnet hill sale of the day King Alexander, the brother garnet hill sale of the day of the deceased and the son of King Casimir Jagiello was weak-willed man and indecisive garnet hill sale of the day politician. Besides, he inherited a difficult legacy: the war with the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III, standing on the run Tatars garnet hill sale of the day conflicts middle and petty gentry with magnates, finally, the lawsuit with the Order. These burdens were intolerable burden for the new monarch. Tone sash hand in negotiations with the king became more rigid, garnet hill sale of the day it domogany - more immoderate. No one knows what would have ended Alexander confrontation with the Crusaders, if not death to & s
