THE MONGOL EXPANSION AND FIFTH CRUSADE ACCORDING TO THE LATIN SOURCES OF 1221

Abstract
The first mention of the Mongols appears in Latin sources in 1221. According to these sources, the Mongol army consisted of baptized nomads. Latin authors asserted that this army was headed by a certain David, “king of the Indies”, which sought to help the Middle Eastern Christians and “liberate” Jerusalem from Muslim rule. Undoubtedly, the Latin sources meant by the “deeds of King David” the first western campaign of the Mongols led by Genghis Khan.
At the moment it is known for certain that the bulk of the nomadic army of Genghis Khan did not adhere to the Christian religion and the Mongol divisions led by Jebe and Subedei were sent by Genghis Khan in the west in pursuit of the former Khwarezmian Sultan Muhammad rather than for the “liberation” of Jerusalem or provision of any tangible support to the Middle Eastern Christians.
Thus, the early Latin information about the Mongols contains relatively accurate description of the western conquests of Genghis Khan, but represents a specific explanation for the Mongol expansion, which does not correspond to historical reality.
This article represents an attempt to explain this distortion of reality.
