Immortalised by Eisenstein's classic film, this legendary battle was fought between the Teutonic Knights - a powerful military order, backed with the crusading zeal of Europe, the blessing of the Pope and the support of the Holy Roman Emperor - and the powerful Russian city-state of Novgorod, led by its inspirational leader Alexandre Nevskii.
