Jebe and Subutai: The Kalka River, 1223

Today, we look at one of the most famous victories of the Mongols: the Kalka River, 1223. Alongside is a healthy dose of historiography, relating to the notion of a Mongol-Venetian alliance dating to this episode, and the death of Jebe Noyan. And you better watch that Mongol-Venetian segment, because somehow that took the longest part to research out of all this. Next time we look at the Volga Bulghar encounter. There are some primary sources I am still hoping to track down and look through, and I want to discuss historigraphy, and why that battle is so often forgotten, so I decided to do it separately from this.

 Translations of the Chronicle of Novgorod: http://faculty.washington.edu/dwaugh/rus/texts/MF1914.pdf see pages 64-66. A little dated (it is from 1914, and in their introduction they refer to white people as 'better races extending civilization across Siberia' or something like that. Classy!)
