After the Mongols devastated Eastern Europe in the 1240s, terrified kings, popes, and priests scrambled to understand this new and unstoppable enemy. Their solution? Send brave envoys deep into the Mongol world. In this episode of the History of the Mongols, we follow the extraordinary journeys of John of Plano Carpini, Simon of St. Quentin, and William of Rubruck, three Europeans who risked everything to uncover the secrets of the Mongol Empire. Their accounts offer a rare, firsthand glimpse inside the court of the Great Khans and reveal how Europe’s first contact with the Mongols shaped the world to come.
