The Poznan Feud War

The Poznan Feud War was a time of individual wars that lasted for over 40 years from 1319 to 1361 between The Holy Roman Empire and The Principality of Teutonic Knights. The Venecian Empire joined the war on it's own side as a means to gain more land.

The Feud was caused when Hochmeister Gilford of Tannenburg claimed that the Principality of Teutonic Knights were entitled to the provance of Poznan and the surrounding areas.

Despite the length of the war there were few battles and little deaths and casualties, mainly because of the Treaty of Berlina which gave land to the Teutons in exchange for Loyalty, meaning if the Teutonic Knights turned on the HRE they would be excommunicated by the Pope, despite this there were occational loopholes which enabled the factions to engage in combat. Also while the Teutonic Forces were superior to the HRE, they were busy fighting in other Baltic Nations and had to balance their forces.

The War ended in 1361 when both sides indicated a truce due largely to the Death of Hochmeister Gilford of Tannenburg and the Resignation of Emperor Canton I.
