Mongol occupation of Hungary (1241–42)
On the Mongol Empire map as “Hungary’s ruin”
1241–42 — The richest city of Hungary falls to siege engines at Christmas; the countryside starves through the occupation winter. Rogerius, an archdeacon who lived it, calls his account the Carmen Miserabile — the Song of Misery. Perhaps a fifth of the kingdom’s people die. Remember them.
