Abstract (may include machine translation)
The Battle of Muhi, fought between the Hungarian Kingdom and the Mongols in April, 1241, is not simply a crucial episode in Hungarian history, but rather it occupies a position of pan-Eurasian historical significance. Since the events have this position of importance for global history, it is therefore crucial that serious efforts are made to offer a reliable historical reconstruction of not only the battle itself, but also the short and long-term impact of the related Mongol invasion and occupation of Hungary. Recent archaeological finds and innovative historical interpretations now offer a complex, multidisciplinary approach which can be the basis of a new large-scale research project. Thus, what we are proposing here is a project aimed at improving our understanding of the episode and of its broader historical context through a fuller analysis of the surviving textual records and the most recent archaeological findings.
