After the battle, the King of Poland, Władysław II Jagiełło, intended to erect a chapel on the battlefield at "loco conflictus nostri ... dicto Grunenvelt". Despite the Polish–Lithuanian victory in the battle and the war, the battle site remained under the control of the Teutonic Order until 1525, although since 1466 under Polish suzerainty as a fief, and they built a chapel dedicated to Mary instead. The village was mentioned in the 15th-century Latin chronicles as "Grunenvelt". Chronicler Jan Długosz used the Polish name Grunwald, and that name was used in Polish historiography since.
