frequently wrong about everything
Procopius, as translated by Anthony Kaldellis. Sometimes it's pure magic. I think this one is going to stick.

I hopefully made damned sure in my book that it's not "the noble knights" and "the cruel barbarians". There are villains and heroes on both sides of my adaptation of this setting, and when the fortress-town of Argon is placed between the hammer and the anvil, a new sense of identity is forged.

Skirmishes became battles, raids became massacres, tensions became war. With no aid from the Holy Roman Empire, the knights faced off against the neighboring Kingdom of Poland, who would defeat and ultimately expel the ailing and crumbling crusader state. To this day a milestone in Polish history...

There are no mountains in northern Europe, so castles are built from cinder bricks rather than stone, the UNESCO protected "Brick Gothic" style. This is also the template of where the grand finale of "Return to the Land of the Free" takes place, the great fortress atop the mound of Argon.

This state and the faith it was interwoven with were enforced from great castle installations, including Malbork castle (Marienburg, after the Virgin Mary), the largest castle complex in medieval Europe, whose restauration is now a major tourist destination in Poland.

These northern crusades produced what they did in the holy land - Crusader States. With the blessing of the pope and the holy roman emperor, these knights founded a fully-blown state with an army, bureaucracy, postal system, taxation, roads, etc. This state would last for more than 200 years.

Spread it to whom? Most prominent victim of a diverse array of peoples were the "Old Prussians", the native heathen peoples of the Baltic Coasts. Heathen meaning obscure gods, druids, holy trees, the full program that one would associate with the "Barbarian" peoples of antiquity.

German merchants operated a hospital in Jerusalem during the Crusades, and there formed the Order of the Teutonic Knights. After the "glory" days of the crusades in the Holy Land were over, the Teutonic Knights were sent to Eastern Europe, to spread Christianity by the sword.

The book has swords and strongholds and monsters and magic, but its tone is closer to Sicario than to D&D, I hope.
