Open Question

The Northern Crusades ran from the twelfth into the fifteenth century as separate campaigns against the Wends, the Prussians, the Livonians and Lithuania, fought by different military orders at different times, and the scholarship studies each campaign on its own rather than totaling losses across the whole span.
