Abstract
In 1247, King Béla IV wrote to Pope Innocent IV, claiming that he had to marry off his three daughters to men of lower social status due to the Mongol threat. These assertions have become deeply ingrained in historical literature and have significantly influenced interpretations of Béla IV’s foreign policy during the Mongol invasion. This study aims to clarify whether the Hungarian king’s letter should be interpreted so categorically and determine whether Béla IV’s statements necessarily and fundamentally shaped Hungarian foreign policy in the 1230s and 1240s.
