As a Romanian watching this from a village along the Mures river, recognizing all locations from oradea to alba iulia, this is bone chilling.

the mongol invasions are literally unparalleled tbh, they are on par with the black death, they are an unbridled chain of devastation so severe that it effectively acted as a disease, it culled millions, and when that was done the people were so agonized by their experiences that they just wanted to rebuild. the ottomans were a nearer foe, one that could be resisted and not incur the annihilation of your civilization if you did so. the ottomans were, for all their faults as an empire, interested in building people they annexed into subjects. if a single lord resisted the mongols, his city would be razed, every soul put to the sword, and whatever lord he owed his fealty to would be rolled into a rug, trampled, and his realm would be burnt to the ground. there were survivors of the mongols who lived long enough to see the black death creep in. imagine the scale of that. first, a purge by humanity, and then, a purge by disease, and you live through what must feel like hell on earth, as first man, and then seemingly god, culls tens of millions. it is a miracle the wallachians, the moldavians, hungary, germany, and the rus even survived what happened to them, two waves of utter human annihilation. imagine how many cultures, languages, books, and creeds *didn't* survive these events. there have to be dozens, hundreds even, that we barely remember, if at all, because forces so far from their control wrought untold, incomprehensibly horrible devastation upon them. to think that many of us are alive solely because an unbroken chain of people *did* survive these events, or at least had children before succumbing, is depressing. so many have suffered to get us here.

The Mongol invasion of Hungary is probably our single biggest national tragedy. Recent years have unearthed some heart-breaking details, such as a skull of a dog next to executed children. The dog's head was was hit by a mace and pierced by a sword as it tried to protect the children, or two little kids, a boy and a girl hidden in a furnace, a boy held a wafer iron in his hands for defence. Their mother died in front of the furnace and their house was torched by the Mongols. We now see more damage - and more resistance - than we have seen ever before. Such a heart-breaking period with opportunities and families lost forever.

It's primary source and a biased account (a guy literally running for his life rather than a neutral party present in the mongol court or Hungarian). Historians don't presume it's all true. How did he know about all these unspeakable cruelties occurring, while he was hiding or busy surviving and finding refuge. Most likely he heard these tales while on the road and running into other survivors who exchanged their tales and rumors. Telling people that people sold their daughters to the mongols for wealth and were killed anyways seems quite foolish, morelike the account attempting to moralize and express disproval towards collaborating with the mongols.

Later, in 1285, the hungarian king, Leslie IV, "the Cuman" from the House of Árpád (de genere Tugrul) completely destroyed Genghis Khan's great-grandson Kara Nogai (Black Nogai) Khan's huge, 40000 men mongol-tartar army in Hungary and in 1345, Andrew Lackfi the supreme commander of the hungarian king Louis the Great from the Angevin dynasty, beatened the Golden Horde in them own territory called Cumania (now Republic of Moldova), in a fierce three days fighting as the last big battle between the hungarians and the mongols. As an example, the name of a hero of these years was BUZÁD BÁNFI . He was a Hungarian nobleman and soldier (The Bánfi family is one of the greatest nobel family in Hungary). He later gave up his position in society and entered the Dominican Order. Buzád was killed during a Mongol invasion of his homeland, in 1241, and is now honored as a martyr by the Catholic Church, for which he has been beatified and is also known as BLESSED BUZÁD (Hungarian: Boldog Buzád). A production "1242 - At the Gates of the West” is being filmed in the hungarian Visegrád citadel takes us back to the time when the Kingdom of Hungary was on the brink of destruction due to the invasion of the Mongol Empire. Eric Roberts, who plays the role of the fortress captain Ákos, and András Stohl, who portrays the fierce warrior Kangar, said that after the defeat at Muhi, the only obstacle to the Tatar invasion of Europe was the fortress of Esztergom. The gap-filling historical adventure film, which will be released at the end of the year in cooperation with the Institute of Hungarian Research, presents the final days of the military campaign, which was a decisive historical moment for Béla IV from the House of Árpád (de genere Tugrul), considered to be the second founder of the Hungarian nation, and Batu Khan, the founder of the Golden Horde. mki.gov.hu/en/hirek-en/minden-hir-en/1242-at-the-gates-of-the-west-gap-filling-historical-adventure-film-about-the-era-of-bela-iv-and-batu-khan

(Fate of 40 million) The horizon kicks up something savage. A sky once fair and blue; Forced red with dust and chaos, a horrid crimson slowly ascending into the heavens. Only to crash down as hell. The horizon begins to speak in a foreign tongue, with intent made clear with decoration of scalp and skulls. Beasts of war are the least of concern as a man dismounts at your sight. The spear speaks for itself so you run, as do your kin in defiance; Unforgivable. Homes and husbands fuel the fires, kicking something savage in the air ascending into the heavens, children found trembling are of no use to the horde. The wagon is presented, all taller are butchered to the wails of wives, only to be cut short. Dragged to horses by beasts.

It's just a fact that the Mongols and Turks considered European women as valuable as gold. As late as the 1600s, the Turks, unable to further attack Western Europe, hired pirates to go all the way to Iceland. There, since Demark was doing a half-assed job of protecting its island possession, the pirates kidnapped women to bring back to Constantinople. Icelanders are taught that part of history, which is not taught at all, properly, anywhere else.

The Roman's tried, and they failed to defeat the Cornish in the 1st century. Upon the Roman's arrival they initially recorded the Dumnonii but later reported on the Cornovii of Dumnonii. The Romans colonized much of central and southern Britain, but Dumnonia was virtually unaffected by the conquest. Roman rule had little to no impact on the region, meaning it could flourish as a fully independent kingdom, which evidence shows was sometimes under the dominion of the kings of the Britons, and sometimes to have been governed by its own Dumnonian monarchy, either by the title of duke or king. This kingdom shared strong linguistic, political and cultural links with Brittany. The Saxons also tried and also failed to defeat the Cornish. When the Kingdom of Wessex were expanding their territory westwards towards Cornwall. The Cornish were frequently embattled with the West Saxons who used their Germanic word "walha", meaning stranger or foreigner to describe their opponents, (later specifying them as Cornwalas, the Cornish). Conflict continued until King Athelstan of England determined that the River Tamar be the formal boundary between the West Saxons and the Cornish in the year 936, making Cornwall one of the very last retreats of the true Britons.

Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

I've read several academic books and papers on this fascinating epoch and most seem to conclude that the Mongols were indeed merciless and implacable but also extremely disciplined. They were not wild, lawless hordes as many seem to think but a trained and battle hardened expeditionary army. They would usually first offer terms of surrender which if accepted would lead to the city being spared the sword but heavily taxed. If the offer was refused or the terms broken the punishment was swift and terrible. No stone could be left standing atop another, no man woman or child left alive beyond those who could be relied upon to carry the tale with them wherever they fled. Occasionally, just to shake things up and stay unpredictable they wouldn't offer terms and proceed straight to annihilation. Thus was done usually after calculating that the town's economic value was low enough to be sacrificed to cement their own terrifying reputation. It was often said that even the news that the Mongol ruler had turned to look in your direction from however many leagues away was enough to turn livers to water, for soldiers to desert and princes to despair. In other words this was psychological warfare and through it half the battle was usually won before it had even started. There was also another practical reason for depopulating an enemy land, to reduce the number of people who might consume its resources, leaving alive only enough to till the land or dig the mines and so continue to pay tributes. Loyal and obedient vassals were cared for and rewarded. To the Mongol, mindless savagery was not an end but a means towards conquest and wealth. Frankly they were not the first and certainly nor were they the last to act on such motivation.

It may also be based on the nobles/warband leaders discretion as well.
