Lithuanian Out Loud 0162 - Lediniai Tiltai Icy Bridges
Lediniai Tiltai Icy Bridges
Hi there, I\u2019m Jack and I\u2019m Raminta and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language.
On 15 July 1410 Lithuanian soldiers fought in the Battle of Grunwald. The German Teutonic Knights never could get on well with Lithuanians. The Pope in Rome had given the Teutonic Knights carte blanche to invade and conquer Lithuanian and Prussian lands. The Prussians were linguistic and cultural cousins of the Lithuanians. In 1385 Grand Duke Jogaila of Lithuania married Queen Jadwiga of Poland. A few years later in 1409 the Teutonic Knights were trying to control an uprising in a territory they controlled \u2013 Samogitia or \u017demaitija.
Lithuanian Grand Duke Jogaila, who was now by marriage the King of Poland declared that if the Teutonic Germans invaded Lithuania it would mean war. The Teutonic Knights said this was a provocation and declared war. Since Grand Duke Jogaila was now the King of Poland, he gave control of Lithuania to Vytautas the Great.
On the 2nd of July 1410 Vytautas the Great of Lithuania and King Jogaila of Poland joined their armies and crossed into Teutonic territory headed for the German castle at Marienburg. The Germans were caught completely by surprise. The German and Lithuanian-Polish forces faced off and fought for many hours. The Germans were slaughtered and the Lithuanian-Polish armies were victorious.
The battle was fought on the plains of Grunwald or in Lithuanian \u2013 \u017dalgiris. The battle is known in Lithuania as \u017dalgirio m\u016b\u0161is. M\u016b\u0161is is the word for battle. Today \u017dalgiris is a symbol of resistance to foreign domination over Lithuania.
The leading Lithuanian basketball and football teams are called BC \u017dalgiris and FK \u017dalgiris to commemorate the battle.
