Kingdom of Hungary, Béla IV, 1235 - 1270 A.D.
|Hungary|, |Kingdom| |of| |Hungary,| |Béla| |IV,| |1235| |-| |1270| |A.D.|, The Mongols invaded Hungary and annihilated Béla's army in the Battle of Mohi on 11 April 1241. He escaped, but a Mongol detachment chased him from town to town as far as Trogir on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The Mongols devastated the country before their unexpected withdrawal in March 1242. Béla introduced radical reforms to prepare for a second Mongol invasion. He allowed the barons and bishops to erect stone fortresses and have private armed forces. He promoted the development of fortified towns. Thousands of colonists arrived from the Holy Roman Empire, Poland and other neighboring regions to settle in the depopulated lands. Béla's efforts to rebuild his devastated country won him the epithet "second founder of the state."
