The Teutonic Knights are German Roman Catholic crusaders that were positioned in the middle district of Acre. Being a part of the Crusaders, the Knights Teutonic were trusted with the task of guarding the city of Acre. The Knights Teutonic, also known as Order of the German House of St. Mary in Jerusalem, was formed at the end of the 12th century in Acre itself.
They were a feared and highly disciplined force, but were infiltrated by the Templars. They were perhaps better known for their Northern Crusade against Paganism in Lithuania, Russia and Eastern Europe rather than their expeditions to the Holy land. They were eventually destroyed by the Polish and Lithuanian nationalists.
