Ok thank you for explaining. BTW - here is the approximate extent (ca. 65,800 km2) of the pre-conquest territory of Prussian tribes:
During years and centuries following the conquest of Old Prussians by Teutonic Knights with help of German, Polish, Russian and other European crusaders, groups of settlers started to settle in Prussia (some of those settlers of course eventually started to intermingle with local Old Prussian population):
- western and northern parts were destinations for mostly German settlers
- southern and eastern parts became destinations for mostly Polish settlers
- north-eastern parts became destinations for mostly Lithuanian settlers
I can give you some estimates for numbers of each group of settlers, as well as some maps showing distrubution of these three groups of settlers.
