The Cuman people famously fled to Hungary to escape Mongol armies in the 1230s, but did you know that was not the beginning or the end of their interaction with the Hungarian Kingdom in the thirteenth century? In this video, we look at the height of Cuman influence in Hungary in the thirteenth century, bringing greater context to the their presence earlier in the century, and see what their role was in bringing the Mongols back to Hungary in 1285- a campaign discussed in detail in the new video from Kings and Generals, which you can check out here: [ Ссылка ]
Kind thanks to my friend Michal Holeščák of the Slovak University of Sciences for his assistance with this video and advice on the Cuman people. Check out his academia.edu profile to read his articles and research, specializing in archaeology of nomads like the Mongols and Cumans: [ Ссылка ]
