Polish–Teutonic War (1326–1332)
- Polish–Teutonic War (1326–1332)
Polish–Teutonic War (1326 [Various sources differ giving either 1326 or 1327 as the starting date of this conflict] –1332) was the war between the Kingdom of Poland and the Teutonic Knights, fought from 1326 to 1332.
John of Luxemburg, King of Bohemia, had claims to the succession to the Polish crown, and repeatedly tried to establish them against Władysław I the Elbow-high, King of Poland during fragmentation of Poland. The Teutonic Order, supporters of King John who joined them in crusades against pagan Lithuanians, were allied with one of regional rulers of Poland, Wacław of Płock.
Taking advantage of Polish Kingdom weakness and in 1326 pillaged and conquered Kuyavia. King Władysław received help from Gediminas of Lithuania and Charles I of Hungary and in turn pillaged Prussian Land up to Osa river ( _de. Ossa), a tributary to the Vistula near Grudziądz ( _de. Graudenz).
The Teutonic Knights counterattacked, taking many towns in Kuyavia, and in 1329 taking the "Dobriner Land" Dobrzyń Land. Polish and Lithuanian counterattack in 1330 resulted in a temporary peace, with the Order returning part of its newly taken lands to Poland, but over the next year, the fighting restarted. After the indecisive Battle of Płowce in 1331, the Order gained an upper hand and retook Kuyavia.
In 1343, territories were exchanged by the Peace of Kalisz.
