Years: 1326 - 1326
The joint Polish-Lithuanian army loots and robs Frankfurt, Berlin, and surrounding territories.
Thus, the pagans reach Central Europe and strike the Holy Roman Empire, which shocks western rulers.
Not meeting any organized resistance, they plunder churches and monasteries for about a month.
Reportedly, they take six thousand prisoners as slaves and much booty.
The loot is large enough to allow Samogitian duke Margiris to pay twenty thousand florins to King John of Bohemia when he raids Medvėgalis in 1329.
German chronicles, including Nikolaus von Jeroschin, vividly describe atrocities committed by the invaders.
They are particularly scandalized by pagan Lithuanians who show no respect for Christian symbols, establishments, or personnel.
Reportedly distraught by Lithuanian cruelty, Masurian nobleman Andrew Gost ambushes and kills David of Hrodna and their way back to Lithuania.
