Convinced that God was on their side, the army marched across the ice of a frozen sea to take the enemy by surprise. They challenged continental Europes greatest generals on the battlefield.

In the end, the enemys superior numbers proved too great, and over one hundred years of empire building culminated in a long, desperate final battle.
