<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 25552712, member: 81887&quot;]I think most of the primary sources dealing with the Mongol invasion were written a bit afterwards, as during the invasion the historians were busy with running away and hiding.&nbsp; I&#039;ve used secondary sources for most of my write-ups of medieval Islamic history, though if anyone knows of accessible, easily-readable (for a non-specialist) English translations of relevant primary sources I&#039;d be interested to hear.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Fourth Crusade&#039;s sack of Constantinople was in 1204, so a little earlier than the Mongol sack of Baghdad.&nbsp; Maybe someone could do a compare-and-contrast of the two events and their respective long-term significance?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
