In this episode of The History of the Mongols, Batu and Subutai bring the full weight of the Mongol Empire westward. After crushing the Rus’ and razing Kiev, they unleash a coordinated assault on Poland and Hungary. The result: two devastating battles, Legnica and Mohi that left Central Europe shattered and the West on the brink of collapse.
You’ll learn about:
• The fall of Kraków and the defeat at Legnica
• Why Duke Henry of Silesia lost his head (literally)
• How King Béla IV tried to stop the Mongols...and failed
• Cuman refugees, royal chaos, and anti-nomadic riots
• The Mongol smokescreens and siege engines at Mohi
• Subutai’s flanking maneuver and the laager trap
• The death of Hungary’s elite and the great retreat
• What really made the Mongols pull back from Europe
If you're fascinated by:
✓ Medieval warfare in Eastern Europe
✓ Steppe tactics vs Christian kingdoms
✓ The Battle of Mohi and its bloody aftermath
✓ Why the Mongols suddenly left Europe
✓ Crusader myths and Mongol truth
Then this is the episode for you.
