Mongols in Europe: Legnica and Mohi
In two days the Mongols crush the Poles and Hungarians
On 9 April 1241 a Mongol force defeated a Polish-German army at Legnica, and on 11 April Batu's main army destroyed King Béla IV of Hungary's army on the Sajó. The Mongols ravaged Hungary until spring 1242 and then withdrew.
