Description

The Mongol Warrior Vs European Knight Eastern Europe 1237-42 by Stephen Turnbull is a fully illustrated study of the forces that clashed during the Mongol invasion of Europe between 1237 and 1242. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and maps, this innovative book examines the legendary Mongol warriors and their vastly different European opponents. The Mongols advanced into northern Caucasus in 1237, conquering key centres such as Riazan and Vladimir before achieving victory at Kiev. They then moved west, winning battles at Liegnitz in Poland and the Sajo River (Mohi) in Hungary, before suffering a reverse at Klis. The death of their leader, Ogedei Khan, led to regrouping forces preparing for further advances into Austria and Germany. This book allows a comparison to be made between the all-conquering nomad horsemen of the steppes and the mounted knights of the West, providing valuable insights into the conflict that shaped Eastern Europe during this period.
