Conrad the White, prince of Olesno

One of the commanders for my Warmaster Teutonic Brotherhood-army. The model is by Kallistra and is of course 10mm. The history of Conrad the White is that he commanded the banner (unit) personally and it was composed of his own people-knights from the Principality of Wroclaw and from Silesia. He was captured and lost his banner as well as his fortune, but was freed by magnanimous King Ladislaus. It has to be noted, that among all the Silesian (or Polish) princes, only he and Casimir, prince of Slupsk went over to the Grand Master's side and it is a horrendous shame they betrayed their Fatherland, helping the enemy in the destruction of their own country. Both however were forgiven, together with their captured knights, by King Ladislaus.
