In the year 1241, after very little warning, terrified monarchs all over Europe could do little but wait as a terrible and colossal wave of nomadic steppe warriors descended upon them from the eastern borders of Christendom. Tens of thousands of highly organised, highly trained and highly experienced nomadic horse archers from beyond the edge of the world. Experts at living off the land, all the Mongol war machine needed to operate was open grassland to feed its horses, cities to plunder, and glory to win, and as chance would have it, lush grasslands just so happened to stretch in an almost unbroken line from France all the way back to Mongolia....
"They are the Four Dogs of Temujin. They have foreheads of brass, their jaws are like scissors, their tongues like piercing awls, their heads are iron, their whipping tails swords . . . In the day of battle, they devour enemy flesh. Behold, they are now unleashed, and they slobber at the mouth with glee. These four dogs are Jebe, and Kublai, Jelme, and Subotai." - Attributed to Genghis Khan in the Secret History of the Mongols.
