Martini Cromeri ex tertio decimo libro de origine & rebus gestis Polonorum nonnulli loci dubii

[Matthaeus]

Pietatis atque religionis ita fuit observans, ut non in postremis duceret, Iudaeos et Cumanos falsorum deorum cultores ad Christianam religionem adducere. Quod in Cumanis quidem assecutus est. Iudaeis autem cum neque minis, neque praemiis propositis persuadere posset, omnes proscripsit.

After the Mongol invasion (1237), many sought asylum in the Kingdom of Hungary, as many Cumans had settled in Hungary, the Second Bulgarian Empire playing an important role in the development of the state, and Anatolia before the invasion.[7][8][9]:2[10]:283"
