Description


Siege of Medvėgalis

The Siege of Medvėgalis was a brief siege of the Medvėgalis in Samogitia in February 1329 by the Teutonic Knights and King John of Bohemia. The fortress surrendered and the defenders were baptized in the Catholic rite. However, as soon as the Teutonic army returned to Prussia, the Lithuanians returned to the practices and beliefs of their earlier pagan religion.
