  THE BATTLE OF GRUNWALD

swords...

  

   At 8.30, when the Teutons(Krzyzacy) were dripping with sweat, Grand Master von Jungingen engaged in a super manoeuvre, sending two of his finest knights to the opposing side with a clever purpose. When the two knights reached about twenty yards from the Poles, one of them cried in a loud voice:
   "Lithuanian and Poles, Dukes Vitaut and Jahaila, if you are afraid to come out and fight, our Grand Master sends you these additional weapons"
   And with contempt they threw their swords, point down, into the earth, where they quivered.
"Also, you cowardly ones, if you feel you require more room for your manoeuvres, the Grand Master says that he will now withdraw our troops one mile to aid you."
   And suddenly from a signal by one of the knights, the Teutons on the distant field did turn about and retreat a full mile.

   The insult made warriors like Black Zawisza angry, but Jahaila remained unperturbed and sent one of his aides to recover the swords. Brandishing one, he said:
   "I accept both your swords and your choice of battleground, but the outcome of this day I entrust to the will of God".
At this challenge the heralds withdrew. Everything was ready for the great battle, maybe the greatest that ever happened in all time.
