Marquard von Salzbach was a Teutonic knight, who played a significant role in shaping the relations between the Teutonic knights and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1389-1410.

During the Lithuanian Civil War in 1381-1384 Vytautas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, captured Marquard after Vytautas reconciled with his cousin Jogaila. At that time Marquard was a castellan of the Marienburg, the Teutonic castle on the Neman river. Marquard became a friend and a close advisor to Vytautas. Grand Duke of Lithuania sent Marquard on a diplomatic mission to form an Alliance with the Teutonic knights. Civil war broke out in Lithuania in 1389, Marquard came free and returned to the knights, becoming a castellan of Ragnit, respected by experts, because of his fluency in lithuanian and in-depth knowledge of the Lithuanian Royal court.

When Vytautas turned against the knights, Marquard fought against Lithuania in an attempt to conquer Samogitia. Marquard helped to negotiate peace in the Treaty of Salynas in 1398. In 1399 Marquard brought 1.600 cavalry to support Vytautas at the battle against the Golden Horde near the Vorskla river. The battle ended with a crushing defeat of the lithuanians, Vytautas barely managed to escape alive, only three Teutonic knights escaped with a few low-ranking soldiers.

In 1404 Marquard insulted Vytautas by attacking his murdered mother Birute. Personal conflict grew between the two, and was finally resolved during the 1410 battle of Grunwald, where Marquard participated as the commander of Brandenburg. According to Jan Dlugosz’ s notes in Banderia Prutenorum, Marquard was taken as a prisoner. Vytautas beheaded Marquard because he refused to apologize Vytautas for the insult.

HEINRICH VON PLAUEN. Magister Generalis / Postcard

Magister Generalis.
27th Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights.

Heinrich von Plauen (the Elder) was the 27th Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, serving from November 1410 to October 1413. He was a stern proponent of prolonging the war with Poland. Because all male members of his family were baptized as Heinrich, he is sometimes known as Heinrich von Plauen the Elder to differentiate from his relative.
Heinrich von Plauen did not take part in the Battle of Grunwald on July 15, 1410. Upon receiving the news of the Order's defeat, he took the initiative and assembled an army of 3,000 men to defend Marienburg, capital of the Order. He correctly suspected that it was where the victorious Polish and Lithuanian armies were headed. He also sent letters, acting as the Grand Master, to Germany asking for additional troops and money. Heinrich von Plauen arrived at Marienburg on time and energetically organized the defense. The Siege of Marienburg started on July 18 and remained until September 19, 1410. The King of Poland Jogaila didn't expect strong resistance and wasn't prepared for a long-term siege. The siege, holding Jogaila's army in place, helped to organize defensive forces in other parts of Prussia and gave time for relief to arrive from the Livonian Order and Germany. Jogaila had to retreat. Heinrich von Plauen ordered his forces to pursue the retreating Polish army and recaptured all fortresses (except those on the Polish–Prussian border) by the end of October.
In November 1410 for his services in the defense of Marienburg and Prussia, Heinrich von Plauen was chosen as the 27th Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, overtaking other officials of the Order with higher positions, like Werner von Tettingen, the Order's Minister of Diplomacy and the Komtur of Elbing (Elbląg), who fought in the Battle of Grunwald. Von Plauen inherited a difficult task of rebuilding Order's fortresses, restoring the economy, recruiting new knights, and defending the Order's reputation in Europe.
