A comment on When Mongols Set Out to Conquer the World, There Was One Limiting Factor: Grass. Parent comment
Constantinople ruler at the time, Baldwin II was either killed or captured Sources agree that the city started paying tribute to the mongol.
( one is a document excommunicating Baldwin for accepting overloadship from the mongols )
So the city was not taken but the situation was pretty bad.
Similarly, Bulgaria and Hungary were taken too if I’m remember correctly.
