The Teutonic Knights featured heavily in a fantasy book I started sketching out once, as morally dubious religious maniacs (is there any other kind) - and a very schlocky idea has just occurred to me about Eastern European pagan sorcerors (vampires, even?) having to defend themselves against the rampaging Christians (a sort of Seven Sorcerors, perhaps)

These reconstructions always seem pretty pointless to me - and surely it can only be the Daily Telegraph that’s at all amazed to discover that Cleopatra was black?
