SLAUGHTER AND DESTRUCTION OF GDAŃSK BY THE TEUTH IN 1308
by Blazej Sliwinski
Description
On November 12, 1308, the knights of the Teutonic Order entered Gdańsk and exterminated the city's inhabitants. They were all equal before their swords - knights, mayor, councilors, nobles and their families, as well as ordinary inhabitants died. The city captured on November 13 by the Teutonic Knights was littered with dead bodies, covered with blood and engulfed in fires.
What was the cause of this bloody murder? What was the true number of victims? Błażej Śliwiński answers these and other questions in his book. He made an attempt to reconstruct the events of that bloody night. After a thorough analysis, in 2006 he published a scientific monograph devoted to the views of Polish and German researchers for the night of November 12-13, 1308 in Gdańsk. In this book, he introduces this subject to a wide group of readers from the popular science perspective.
