1329 siege in Lithuania

The Teutonic Order conducted a siege of Medvėgalis, a Lithuanian fortress in Samogitia, in February 1329. The 18,000-strong Teutonic army — reinforced by many guest crusaders, including King John of Bohemia — captured four Lithuanian fortresses and besieged Medvėgalis. The fortress surrendered, and as many as 6,000 locals were baptized in the Catholic rite.
