However, just one factual error is that the fire pots used at the Battle of Mohi were "news to the Hungarians". The so-called source that reports this was not a Hungarian source, it was a CHINESE source, written hundreds of years after the battle. Also, it is highly unlikely that whatever happened at Mohi, it did not involve gunpowder. The chinese word in question translates as FIRE-POT, not gunpowder. | |
