What do you think of the fact that this Wikipedia source and this collapsed Quora answer prove that medieval knights were incompetent combatants with ridiculous military training?
This collapsed Quora answer proves that there were actually 1600 knights(100 Teutonic Knights + 800 Danish and German knights + 300 other Danish and 400 other German knights) fighting for the Catholic Teutonic side during the Battle of the Ice:
