The Battle of Skuodas or Schoden[2] was a medieval battle fought in ca. 1259 near Skuodas in present-day Lithuania during the Lithuanian Crusade. The Samogitian army of 3,000 invaded Courland and on their way back defeated the Livonian Order, killing 33 knights and many more low-rank soldiers.[3] In terms of knights killed, it was the eighth largest defeat of the Livonian Order in the 13th century.[4] This victory led to a Semigallian insurrection against the Livonian crusaders, which lasted from 1259 to 1272.
