Tens of thousands of Romanians in Transylvania …
Years: 1241 - 1241
Tens of thousands of Romanians in Transylvania (at this time part of the Kingdom of Hungary) lose their lives defending their territories from the Golden Horde.
Crops and goods plundered from Romanian settlements seem to have been a primary supply source for the Golden Horde.
The invaders kill up to half of the population and burn down most of their settlements, thus destroying much of the cultural and economic records from that period.
Neither Romanians nor the army of Hungary offer much resistance against the Mongols.
The swiftness of the invasion takes many by surprise and forces them to retreat and hide in forests and the enclosed valleys of the Carpathians.
In the end, however, the main target of the invasion is the Kingdom of Hungary.
