Open Question
Surviving chronicles report battle and siege deaths individually across fifteen years of campaigning and five crusades, and demographic studies estimate Bohemia's wider population loss over the era, but nobody has reconciled combat deaths against the indirect toll of famine and disease that followed the campaigning armies into one figure attributable to the war itself.
What would resolve this A historical demographic study working from Bohemian parish, manorial and tax records where they survive across the 1419 to 1434 period, disaggregating direct war casualties from the era's broader disease and famine mortality.
