The order emerged in the Holy Land during the Third Crusade, later directing its efforts toward the colonisation of Eastern Prussia, Poland, and the Baltic regions, advancing Catholicism in the East. In 1199, Pope Innocent III granted the knights white surcoats marked with a black cross, a symbol that became the order’s enduring insignia. In 1242, the Teutonic Knights were defeated at the Battle of Lake Peipus by Alexander Nevsky, Prince of Novgorod.
