Author Peter Purton explains how a castle's garrison sometimes faced its toughest challenges in times of peace, not times of war. Purton joins host Dan Snow in Battle Castle: Malbork to shed insight on various aspects of the Teutonic Knights' mightiest stronghold. Believed to be the largest brick castle in the world, Malbork Castle was built by Christians during the Baltic Crusades. Historically known as Marienburg, this fortification was besieged by Polish and Lithuanian forces after the Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 and defended by Heinrich von Plauen.
