The Mongols invaded Central Europe with three armies. One army defeated an
alliance which included forces from fragmented Poland and members of various
Christian military orders, led by Henry II the Pious, Duke of Silesia in the battle of Legnica. A second army crossed the Carpathian mountains and a third followed the Danube.
The armies re-grouped and crushed Hungary in 1241, defeating the Hungarian army
at the Battle of Mohi on April 11, 1241.
