The First Peace of Toruń in 1411 had ostensibly ended conflicts between the warring powers of the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War, although hostilities resumed in 1414. In response to nighttime raids by the Teutonic Order, Polish forces devastated many districts of the order. Even though the Poles were unable to capture the strongly fortified Ordensburgen of the Knights, many of the crusaders' lands were depopulated by famine or slaughter.[1] King Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland demanded the western territories of the order's state. In response Grand Master Michael Küchmeister von Sternberg countered with charters and appeals to the Imperial tribunal at Breslau from 1418-1422. In the latter year, however, Władysław invaded Prussia. Peace of ToruÅ 1411 or the First Peace of ToruÅ was a peace treaty signed on 1 February 1411 in ToruÅ between Poland-Lithuania and the Teutonic Order ending the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War (1409-1411) (see the Battle of Grunwald). ...

Władysław's forces quickly captured Löbau and Riesenburg, although the Polish king bypassed the Order's fortified capital of Marienburg. Heading south, the Poles then captured Gollub and Schönsee.[2] Władysław decided to end the war quickly before the overwhelmed Prussian troops of the Order could receive reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire that Küchmeister's successor Paul von Rusdorf had requested.[3] A truce was signed on September 17, 1422, and the war concluded ten days later with the Treaty of Melno. This ended the fights between Lithuania and the Teutonic Knights once and for all. Poland fought with the order once again during the Thirteen Years' War (1454-1466) and later.
