Description

1242 battle during the mongol invasion

Siege during the Mongol invasion of Hungary

The siege of Esztergom took place in the winter of early 1242. Following the hard-fought but decisive Mongol victory at the Battle of Mohi, Batu Khan pillaged the lands of the Kingdom of Hungary, with particular focus on soft targets such as small villages and towns. One exception was Esztergom, the capital and largest, wealthiest city in the Kingdom of Hungary until its destruction.
