ocr: It was a year of misery for Eastern Europeans, 1241. To escape the Mongol juggernaut, 40,000 refugees from the steppe of Russia had straggled into Hungary. Mongol forces followed, smashing every army in their path. Only the death of the great khan Ogodei back in Mongolia halted their onslaught.
